final coat

Finishing paint application

The last layer of paint, varnish, or other finish applied to a surface.

Earlier coats prime and build; the final coat is what shows: Let the primer dry completely before applying the final coat.

In plastering, the final coat is the smooth topmost layer that receives paint or wallpaper.
