Paint Finish / Lacquer Finish

Paint finish, also commonly referred to as lacquer finish or baked paint finish in some markets, is a surface coating process used for custom cabinetry and shaped cabinet doors. It is usually applied over substrates such as MDF or plywood through sanding, primer coating, top coating and curing. It is not a pre-finished laminate material like melamine or PET, and is suitable for projects that require custom colors, a unified painted surface and good visual flatness. Compared with pre-finished surfaces such as melamine and PET, paint finish offers more flexibility in color customization, surface texture and shaped door applications. Compared with wood veneer finish, it is more suitable for solid colors, modern styles, light luxury styles and simple design effects. It is also commonly used for French style, American style and moulded cabinet door projects. Its actual performance depends on substrate flatness, sanding quality, primer treatment, topcoat quality, spraying environment, curing process, color depth, gloss level and batch color control. For batch projects, color samples, gloss level, painted sample panels, packaging protection and on-site finished product protection should be confirmed in advance.
