Yeah, taping off the rosette, purflings and bindings when spraying the dyes to create the sunburst is a precise, tedious but necessary task in order to allow those elements to visually “pop” once the nitro finish goes on. Photographing sunbursts is also notoriously difficult. They almost always look a bit different in person...
