Actually it is neither. I said tinted but what it really is, is paint. What was done was this. Since Oak is very pourous wood the grain had to be filled in, so it was filled in with car clear to a certain point, just a cheap clear. Once the wood was smooth then the body paint was added to the clear and mixed to give it a transparent look so that you could still see the grain of the wood.
On top of that it will have three coats of clear so that it can be cut and buffed just like the rest of the truck. The pictures were just out of the paint booth and still have to be sanded then the clear applied then cut and buffed to a mirror shine.
