the surface finish can be increased by perfect machining in the moulding die( i.e, by plating , lapping which gives more surface finish and reduces the friction of material flow).
There are proprietary products that can be applied to some materials to reduce the SFI (spread of flame index). Contact local coatings (paint, sealer etc) suppliers for information. The effectiveness of the product can be specific to the materials to which it is applied. The supplier will be able to advise you. Most of these products use some form or compound of boron.
Finishing is applied to metals because of the heating process that helps shape metal. The finish adds shine and luster, and creates a clean look.
24 GA Stainless Steel is 0.239" per the U.S. Standard Gage for Uncoated Hot- & Cold-Rolled Sheets. The thickness is not dependent on the material type. The number 4 refers to the surface finish. It only affects the thickness in that it removes some of the surface material. A number 4 finish is rougly equivalent to sanding with 180 grit sandpaper. Small grooves are left in the surface parallel to the length of the member.

Absolutely, both in terms of composition and also of applique. Look up "Painted Greek Sculpture", just to start, and know that then as now, every surface has a finish; whether deliberately applied or organically created, all elements of painting are fully vested in sculpture, and should be appreciated as such. Of course, a deliberate intention or approach to the surface qualities of a sculpture will imbue it with greater meaning, and therefore enhance it's value- postmodernism aside, I suppose....
It means metal that has no surface finish such as paint, plating, or anodizing. Bare metal that is ready for a finish to be applied.
No, Leonardo did not finish the horse sculpture because the Duke had him build a cannon instead to be ready for the french invasion.
No.
Yes, Depending on the surface it's being sprayed on, you might want to use a fine finish tip that will give it a finish near the quality of a cup gun,
Marcasite is a type of finish that's applied to a pool surface. It is a composite of round stones in various colors and epoxy. I had my pool redone 5 years ago and the surface is as perfect and beautiful as it was the first day that I had it resurfaced. I have a lifetime warranty on the finish and the labor
Number 4 ground finish is equivalent to a maximum Ra of 32 micro inch (0.80 micro meter) when measured according to the recommendations in ANSI/ASME B46.1 - Surface Texture. In addition, surface finish equivalent to 150 grit or better as obtained with silicon carbide and properly applied on the surface would also meet specifications of No. 4 finish.

To speed up production, in mid-1918, Colt they did away with the final stage of surface preparation. This left the pistol with a rough surface. When the blueing was applied, it appeared almost black, hence, "black finish" and "black army" terms.
The term "Top" in plastering means the finish or "top" coat. It needs to be stiff and thick so it doesn't run when applied to the surface.
A surface finish commonly refers to the final stage of most manufacturing processes. It is a process by which a final coat of pain, clear coating, polish, etching, or other process is applied for the final acquisition of desired appearance.
The term "finish," when used with reference to furniture or similar wood products, refers to the film forming coatings applied to the surface of the wood to protect it and to highlight its appearance. There are four basic types of finishes used in woodworking:
