Translucent paint

I'm seeing more of these beds with the translucent paint on the wood planks. Anybody done this? Any tech articles on this?

Re: Translucent paint

Haven't seen any myself but I don't hit many shows right now.
They may be adding tint to the coating that they are using on the wood.
