Evaluation of the effects of 8% methanol (MeOH) pretreatment on the finishing performance of  Acacia mangium  wood was carried out using different coating systems, i.e., nitrocellulose (NC), acid catalysed (AC) and polyurethane (PU). The coated surfaces were tested for adhesion test-cross cut, scratch resistance test, abrasion test, impact resistance test, surface roughness, and gloss measurements test according to the relevant standard. The results have shown that  A. mangium  wood surface treated with 8% methanol resulted in a superior finished surface compared to untreated panels except gloss. Among coating systems, AC and PU appear to be more compatible with MeOH than with NC. Applying 8% of methanol to  A. mangium  surface before coating, application of AC or PU improved the quality of finished  A. mangium  wood and meeting the minimum requirements outlined in the standards.
