Finish It Pool Guide

The pool is the most satisfying surface in Finish It and the most punishing if you approach it wrong. This guide is the dedicated pool walkthrough: concrete types, spray angles, drain order, stairs, and the shine that photographs on the house checklist. Read it before you touch the water, not after you have tracked plaster across every tile in the house.

Why the pool is different

Residential pools in Finish It are large, concave, and have a dirty floor, curved walls, and a set of stairs. Unlike a flat brick wall, the pool fights your angle. Spraying downward into the deep end from the rim works; spraying upward from inside the empty pool usually means breathing white and wasting half your tank on runoff.

The pool is also a single contract. Interiors can be split across sessions. The pool either looks done or it looks like a construction site. There is no middle ground that reads well in a screenshot.

Before you spray

Walk the entire pool perimeter. Note where the concrete is cracked, where the coping (the cap stone around the edge) meets the tile, and where the ladder surround sits. These details are where edges hide and where how to plaster technique matters most. If you skip the walk, you will discover a strip behind the ladder after you have already painted the floor.

The ring method (deep to shallow)

Start at the deep end. Spray in rings moving toward the shallow end so you are never walking through fresh plaster to reach your exit. This is the opposite of a brick wall where you work top-down. In the pool you work deep-to-shallow because gravity pulls toward the drain and you do not want to stand in wet mix.

1. Stand at the rim, aim down at the deep-end floor.
2. Spray in overlapping circles from the bottom up the walls.
3. When the deep end floor and lower walls are coated, move to the shallow end.
4. Spray the floor in strips toward the steps.
5. Trowel the deep-end floor while you can still reach it without stepping in wet mix.

The walls

Pool walls are vertical concrete. Sweep top to bottom so overspray falls onto the floor you were going to coat anyway. The trowel for pool walls is held flat against the curve — if you angle it like brick mortar lines, you will leave ridges that catch light wrong.

If the pool has tile bosses or a cove (the curved transition between floor and wall), trowel those first. They are the hardest spots to smooth and the most visible in screenshots.

The stairs

Pool stairs are the detail that separates a pool that looks “started” from one that looks “finished.” Spray each tread, then trowel, before you move to the next. Do not spray all the treads and then try to trowel them — the overspray on the risers will have dried by the time you get back.

The ladder surround is small, awkward, and easy to skip. Add it to your house checklist specifically. It is the last checkbox on the pool section and the one most players miss.

Trowel discipline

Trowel the pool in the same session you spray it. Unlike an exterior brick wall where you might split spray and trowel across a long session, the pool concrete sets differently than brick and the concave shape makes a second visit harder to navigate.

The shine pass

After troweling, some players add a thin final coat — almost a skim — to fill any remaining pitting in the concrete. This is optional on exterior brick but common on pool surfaces because water amplifies every texture. If your tank has enough left and the concrete is rough, one thin overlap pass before the trowel creates that mirror-like finish in completion screenshots.

Co-op and the pool

One person on pool floor and walls, one on stairs and ladder surround, one running plates if interiors are next — that is enough crew. Do not put three sprayers in the pool at once; the overspray and the fumes make it unpleasant and the result is sloppy.

After the pool

Move to the deck or coping if your lot has it. Then paint — the pool shine looks best in a consistent color with the rest of the exterior. See how to finish the house for the completion order that puts paint last.

You finished the pool. That is the hardest surface in Finish It. The rest of the house is fast from here.
