A wood stain is a sub-category of paint and consists of a pigment suspended in a "vehicle" of solvent and binding agent (alkyd, linseed oil, acrylic, polyurethane, lacquer, or resin). Wood stain is designed to add color to the substrate of wood and other materials while leaving the substrate mostly visible. Top coats are applied afterwards. General Coatings Corp. has a spray booth, or we can build one on-site to provide you with the high level of finish you want on your project. We can fine finish cabinets, lacquer work and doors.
