Finish that is applied by spraying is a quick and easy technique Spray finish will protect the surface but often is not as tough as a finish applied by a brush. Recessed areas that are hard to reach and a surface that is cylindrical alI shape. These can be difficult to brush a finish on and not achieve runs, so a spray on the finish is ideal in these cases. You can achieve a thicker, more protective coating by brushing than by spraying. That is not to say that a spray finish doesn’t look as good or have its merits. It can often be the best choice in your finishing techniques.
