Finishing paint is the final coat applied to interior or exterior surfaces, providing both aesthetic appeal and protective qualities. It creates a smooth, uniform finish that enhances color depth, sheen, and surface durability. Available in various finishes—such as matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss—finishing paint is chosen based on the desired look and functional needs of the space. It is commonly used on walls, ceilings, doors, trim, and furniture, and may offer additional features such as stain resistance, washability, and mildew protection. Finishing paints are formulated in different bases, including water-based (latex or acrylic) and oil-based, each suited to specific substrates and conditions. A properly applied finishing coat not only completes the visual presentation but also seals and protects the surface from wear, moisture, and UV exposure, contributing to the longevity and maintenance of the structure.
