Ultrawhite radiative cooling paints are an emerging technology offering scalable solutions for cooling and passive water harvesting wherein surface wettability plays a key role. This work, examines how radiative cooling paint pigment and binder formulations affect surface morphology, roughness, and dynamic wettability. Samples are prepared with three different nanoparticulate pigments, calcium carbonate (CaCO<sub>3</sub>), barium sulfate (BaSO<sub>4</sub>), and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN); two binders, including an acrylic and a waterborne silicone-modified polyurethane dispersion (SILIKOPUR 8081); and pigment solid volume concentrations from 0% to 80% v/v. The CaCO<sub>3</sub> and BaSO<sub>4</sub> pigments produced paints with rougher textures and higher contact angles due to their pigment particle morphology. While high solar reflectance was achieved across various pigment and binder combinations, wettability exhibited a complex trend with pigment concentration, indicating that maximizing reflectance does not necessarily optimize wetting behavior.

By systematically varying the laser fluence and pulse number, their effects are examined on LIPSS periodicity and, consequently, SERS performance. The results reveal that increasing laser fluence from 0.80 to 1.40 J/cm<sup>2</sup> significantly reduces LIPSS periodicity due to enhanced Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) excitation and energy redistribution. LIPSS exhibit elongated elliptical structures at lower pulse numbers, which gradually transition into circular patterns with increasing pulses, driven by electric field redistribution and interference effects. The influence of LIPSS on SERS is systematically analyzed using a thiophenol solution to evaluate Raman signal sensitivity. The results demonstrate that precisely tuned periodicity and depth of LIPSS significantly enhance SERS signals by optimizing localized electromagnetic fields and plasmonic resonance effects.
