Cosmetic surfaces
Identify visible faces and the method for agreeing appearance.
Part example 09
Finished turned components
Colored cylindrical, flanged and threaded parts. When appearance matters, the drawing should say which surfaces are cosmetic and which are functional.

What to specify on the drawing
Mating interfaces
State which dimensions apply to the finished part.
Exposed flange
Identify exposed edges and surfaces that need separation or protection in packaging.
What decides the machining route
A color reference is not a finish specification. Agree the treatment, dimensional condition and cosmetic acceptance reference together.
How we check it
Keep dimensional acceptance and appearance acceptance separate. Specify masking or contact restrictions where the finishing route needs them.
