The "burst" is certainly sprayed.
TBH, I really want the answer to be the ol' Blue Peter favourite, sticky backed plastic. It has that naff Seventies look about it. To complete the look, just add an Open University Seventies course tutor kipper tie.

Start with light colours and go progressively darker masking off sections.
Must have taken ages.

The blue finish brings out all the different shades of the different boards.
It's the blue itself that I like, a nice mid blue with a bit of pop.
That would have soaked up a lot of finish then.

Just a mix of natural wood tones within the ply, possibly a few different species, but even maple comes in a lot of colours
edit- as far as I am aware skateboards have the grain going along the board for each layer... not alternating at 90 degrees like normal ply.
i am wrong... on a 7 ply board layers 3 and 5 would go at 90 degrees

More likely a lot of undyed ones than a lot that were dyes a similar blue. Obviously the very dark lams, and the greener coloured ones could have been a different colour

I take it it's a clear lacquer with a drop of blue added?
My money's on a candy, as per Steve. The colour is a concentrate in a clear lacquer or a special carrier and isn't easy to spray; one hair, speck or insect and it's game over, you can't pick it out or sand or respray. Start over. Have to spray evenly to avoid tiger stripes & patchy look.
The final colour tone & depth depends on the concentration mixed in the clear and the sprayed layers, and the colours underneath your candy layers. Dark blues often take on that turquoisey greeny hint when thin. Some examples of the same burnt orange candy -
