The only one I know of comes from Precision Drum Company. I used it on a set of Camcos that had a cheap version of aqua satin flame on it that was torn and shoved up into small bubbles in front of the lugs. This was the end result. I'm not sure if it would match anything piece for piece in a Ludwig set, but it may well be the closest thing you will find. They call it Merlot sparkle.

Apologies. My mind crossed over to Ludwigs. I think the same would be true of Gretsch.

The modern Merlot is beautiful but it is different from the vintage one. I did a 58' Gretsch kit in the Merlot and I am very happy with the results.
