For a colourful finish, maybe I want pork (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paintwork

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for a colourful finish' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'maybe i want pork' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'want'+'pork'='iwantpork'
'iwantpork' with letters rearranged gives 'PAINTWORK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paintwork that I've seen before include "Coats maybe" , "matt and gloss?" , "Decoration" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
