What you're seeing there is oxidation of the paint, or a frosting or "bloom"
from when solvent gets on the surface and dissolves out some of the clear
binder, or when water gets on the paint and hydrates/swells the surface coating,
which I believe causes it to develop microscopic cracks, allowing air in, and
giving it a different IOR.
Kind of like taking transparent tape and putting it on a dark surface - it's not
transparent until you rub/burnish it down to exclude all of the air between the
tape and the surface.

I think that what might have to happen is to have a variety of functions that
get interpolated across the surface of the wood, to give rise to a smooth
blending of different patterns.   Right now you're just sort of unioning them.

What needs to be corrected?
