Is PVD the final step?

2003

Is PVD the final process in the order of finishing? for example (over simplification) if you are trying to achieve a Satin Brushed Nickel finish - take steel - chrome - brush to add physical texture - then PVD to achieve Nickel color

Thanks,

Yes. The PVD coating is the last step in the process.
