The coating occurs as covering that is applied to an object to protect it or vary its appearance. It can be applied when liquids, gasses or solids.

Examples of coatings: paint enamel (paint) enamel (vitreous) electroless plating or electrochemical plating oxide (coating) phosphate (coating) chromate conversion coating anodizing sputtered or vacuum deposited materials chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition Shell steel is often ordered from either a mill P&O (Pickled and Oiled). polymer coatings, such as Teflon plasma coatings
