'fine finish' is the definition.
'lustre' can be an answer for 'finish' (lustre is a kind of finish). I'm not certain of the 'fine' bit.

'result' is an anagram of 'LUSTRE'.

'could' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lustre that I've seen before include "number of years" , "Gloss, brightness" , "Rustle up the sheen" , "Soft brightness or glory" , "Sheen or renown" .)
