It's sometimes called "bar top coating" or "bar epoxy" or something like that, too. I don't remember for sure (it was a few years ago), but I think this is what I used http://www.uscomposites.com/epoxy.html#kleerkote

I had a small storage ottoman where the top could be flipped over and used as a TV tray. I coated the bottom of the tray with bands and then used the 2-part epoxy to cover it all in.

I would do one layer then epoxy it. Let it dry, and do another and epoxy it. I think I did three layers in all. It gave it more depth with bands appearing to float. I didn't cover the entire space with each layer, but over the course of three layers it covered it all so you could see the different layers of bands below.
