imho:
Since this is just an option question, I dislike "great stuff" I've
had much better results with the latex competitor. The stuff doesn't
over expand, and cleans off clothes.
As for a finish, I've heard people tooling it(razor scraper) after it
cures and painting the stuff.
BTW, for larger gaps you can use backer rod with caulk, instead of
expanding foam.
