ABSTRACT:
A paint coated article has a plurality of paint layers containing a polymeric binder and reflective flakes, such as metal flakes, coated on a substrate. Flakes in the outer layer are of relatively large average size and are present in a concentration such that the layer is light transmissive. The flakes in the inner layer are of relatively smaller average size and the coverage of the inner layer is sufficient that the total paint coating is opaque. The paint coated article has excellent distinctness of image, gloss, flop and covering power. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the paint layers are applied as coatings on a thermoformable carrier film to provide a stretchable and flexible sheet material adapted for use in a thermoforming process in which it is stretched and bonded to a three dimensional substrate, such as an exterior automobile panel, to form thereon a decorative coating exhibiting a high degree of geometric metamerism.
