[edit] Do not merge with Coating

Agreed that this still needs work, but processes like sandblasting and shot peening are clearly not coatings. --Mud4t 09:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] not merge

I complitely agree that coating is a part of surface finishing but not all surface finishing are coatings. at the beginning of the article the difference is clearly given between adding material or modifing mecanically or by other means the surface properties of a bulk material.

so even if surface finishing is more broad subject, I think that "coating" is a more common word that deserved to have its own article
