Dead-on accurate repros of the major pearls (WMP, OBP, BOP, BDP and MBP/SBP) would be awesome and fill a big industry hole, as would a dead-on Champagne Sparkle.

Yes, the major pearls are high on the priority list.

Any example of the Champagne sparkle?

Thank you for helping support the vintage drum restoration crowd !!

The suggestions for product are spot on. Understand may be a tough replication process. I would be happy to pay more for an era correct pearl wrap. Deep large glass glitter sparkle wrap as well.

Sky Blue Pearl by Gretsch 1961 would be nice :-).

Nothing special here but I like them.

How about a clear marine pearl finish with no backing on it? I have seen a Gretsch kit that was a tobacco sunburst (duco) under a clear pearl finish and it looked killer. I have a MIJ kit that has a clear Pearl finish over whitewashed shells and you can see the woodgrain through the pearl. I had looked into having some made last year but with a minimum order of 100 sheets, I gave up without much of a fight.
