What is one of the aesthetic impacts of a poor surface finish?

A poor surface finish typically results in decreased glossiness. When the surface of a material, such as sheet metal, is not properly finished, it can lead to irregularities, scratches, or imperfections that scatter light instead of reflecting it smoothly. This scattering effect dulls the appearance of the surface, leading to a less glossy finish.

In contrast, an ideal surface finish would be characterized by a high level of smoothness and reflectivity, which enhances the visual appeal of the material. Uniform color and enhanced smoothness are also desirable traits associated with a good surface finish. However, these qualities are not typically associated with a poor finish, which is primarily recognized by a lack of glossiness.
