This study was executed to investigate scanning electron microscopic characteristics of Korean Rhus lacquer coats. With the unrefined coat, distilled water, sodium hydroxide, acetic acid, ethyl alcohol, cold-check test, and accelerated weathering were performed after refining treatment. These treated lacquer coats were discussed through observation by scanning electron microscope and the obtained results were summarized as follows: 1. Compared with unrefined coat, the refined coat of Korean Rhus lacquer showed more even surface with regular distribution of dispression. 2. Korean Rhus lacquer coat heated at $120^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours revealed no observable difference irrespective of refining and unrefining. 3. Korean Rhus lacquer coat treated by distilled water, sodium hydroxide, acetic acid. ethyl alcohol, cold-check test. and ultraviolet radiation showed significant characteristics compared with untreated coat. Especially. large deformation and checkings were observed by cold-check test and ultraviolet radiation respectively. 4. The Korean Rhus lacquer coat radiated by ultraviolet ray showed 0.11 duller and 1.41 brighter than non-radiated coat through color difference calculator.
