Name: "Wil Murray"
I used to.
I worked for most of my teenage and a few of my adult years at my father's powder coating shop. Finish was everything and I was put in charge of very finicky jobs like clear-coating chrome and gold plated objects.
I drew on this when I first started painting but was unable to mimick machine-assisted finish with my hands and was unwilling to drag dayjob techniques into night job practices.
It was claimed in a recent video that I love unfinished edges and mistakes, and that's far from the truth. Those years powder coating just made it mean something different.

Great anecdote!
I guess I think there's an appropriate level of finish for each unique object.
The one thing I hate is if stretched paintings aren't framed but the artist has paid no attention whatsoever to the edges of the painting. Personal pet peave. Can't stand it.
