THE FINISH GUIDE
Matte, satin or gloss?
Reflectivity changes the character of a color. Choose with a physical swatch and the body shape in mind.
Look beyond the color name.
Two grey materials can have very different surface appearances. Compare how each finish reflects the surrounding light and how it sits beside trim and glass.
Use more than one lighting condition.
A screen image is a direction, not an exact material match. Review the physical swatch under different light before choosing the final product.
Plan the details together.
Coordinate roof, mirror and trim treatments with the main finish. A deliberate contrast can be part of the design; it should be an explicit decision rather than an installation surprise.
Choose a care plan.
Follow the selected material’s instructions for cleaning and maintenance. Do not assume a polish or treatment intended for one surface is suitable for another.
