The Finishing coat

The look of the FINAL or TOP COAT is the result of good preperation and completing the job with care.

Many finishers, in a rush to this end, omit the necessary foundation work that will provide the lasting look and result in durable performance.

This top coat gives the desired esthetic sheen, but the total look and character of the finish comes from the work put into the Base of the job,the base priming and the build up coats that give you the look of depth.

If a matte, semi-gloss, or satin sheen is desired apply only as a last top coat.

Finishes built up with adjusted sheen materials lack durability and clarity.

Uneven sheens and a foggy look of the final cured coat are common and symptomatic in lacquer finishes built up with a flatted or less than gloss sheen.

Careful preparation prior to this last “LOOK coat” by sanding with fine paper, careful removal of dust from the surface, and sanitation in the work area pay off in a lot of saved labor.
