The thin lie every surface tells to look better than it is.
means A layer of material applied over a surface to protect it, change how it looks, or alter how it behaves.
from From "coat," which started as the outer garment you wear, from Old French "cote," tracing back further to Germanic roots for a simple tunic. By the 1600s English had stretched "coat" into a verb meaning to cover something in a layer — like dressing a surface the way cloth dresses a body. "Coating" followed as the noun for that applied layer, and later for the act of applying it — the surface, quite literally, getting dressed up.
