They did that with the special varnish in the film The Red Violin (1998) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Violin
“The Red Violin” is a late 90’s movie about a famous and beautiful-sounding violin (clearly based on a Strad) that is passed down through the ages, which has a unique varnish on it.
Ooooh... 1999. Fight Club. Go. American Beauty. The Matrix. Boys don't cry. Austin Powers. The Sixth Sense. The Talented Mr. Ripley. The Cider House Rules. Magnolia. Mansfield Park. The Red Violin. Trick. American Pie. ;)
