^ ya..resin art. although, you MIGHT be able to find a crazy good airbrusher who could do a pretty similar job. but it'd probably cost $$$$$$$$$$

As already mentioned its done by adding colour pigment to the resin and then laminating with it. Check out some of austin's surfboards in the us. He is the master of it.
