GeneralFinishes.com industry leader in water based finishes technology

Specializing in water based wood finishes and industrial wood coatings, including furniture finishes and paints.

About Our Growing Company


This Wisconsin-based company is a recognized leader in the development of water borne technology. We produce award-winning oil based and water based wood finishes, including paints, stains, topcoats, and more that often out-perform major manufacturers (see Fine Wood Working Magazine issues Dec/1996, Nov/1998, and Dec/2006).

Recently, we merged with Compliant Spray Systems, to bring you Enduro industrial wood coatings and 3M Accuspray HVLP Spray Equipment for furniture, auto body, industrial, and architectural coating. Here's the official press release - General Finishes Acquires Compliant Spray Systems.

We now offer online wholesale ordering for businesses.

We started back in 1928, and we've come a long way since then - from 2 employees and a washing machine to mix paint to a state-of-the-art facility! To learn more about our amazing American story, click here. GF plant new-WEB.png

Featured Text -- There's not really a magic formula for making a great WikiPage, but there are often things that catch our eye -- good images, YouTube videos, a giant Google Map, press releases, and links to related articles on other websites (including other wikis). Well, it's no wonder then that the page for GeneralFinishes.com caught our eye. This one offers all these and then some. It's hard to say what impressed us the most about this Wisconsin-based company producing award-winning oil based and water based wood finishes, paints, stains, top coats and more. While the pictures of their products and YouTube on video how to create specialty finishes are great, one of the things that really elevated the GeneralFinishes.com page to new heights was the links to various wikiHow articles on using finishes, showing off a great intersection of the "how to" guides of wikiHow with the kinds of "about us" information we provide.
