Using an eye-catching finish has become an increasingly used method to differentiate products from the competition and excite the consumer’s interest. For OEMs using prefinished metals for either cabinets or trim pieces, the options for achieving a new look have also grown. While the idea of using prefinished metals isn’t new, there are new opportunities to exploit them. Those opportunities arise from the introduction of new materials and changing consumer tastes. Today’s consumers are more amenable to colorful designs, but they also have practical concerns, such as fingerprint resistance and finish durability.
