ABSTRACT:
A process for applying a coating exhibiting high gloss, and good depth appearance is disclosed, as well as the resulting coated product. For instance, a first coating is applied to a conductive substrate, wherein the first coating consists of a polyester polymer, a blocked catalyst therefor, and bright reflective leafing metallic flake pigments. The coated substrate is heated to a first temperature high enough to permit the flake pigments to move to a position wherein the flakes are substantially oriented parallel to the coating surface, but not high enough to unblock the catalyst. After the pigment flakes have obtained the desired oriented position, the coating is heated to a second temperature high enough that the catalyst unblocks and cures or gels the polymer.
Thereafter, a transparent second coating is applied over the cured first coating, with the second coating being a clear polymer containing a tinting amount of soluble coloring agent therein.
The process is highly suitable for coating bicycle frames, motorcycle frames, and the like, wherein a high gloss, decorative coating exhibiting good weather resistance is required. Such coatings are generally called flamboyant finishes.
