Low to zero volatile organic compounds (VOC) paints and coatings incorporate deep eutectic solvents (DES) to extend open time and stabilize pigments and colorants. Reduction of VOCs provides improved environmental, health, and safety benefits. In embodiments a pigment, binder, and water are combined with a deep eutectic solvent blend comprising an ionic solvent with one or more hydrogen bond donors and one or more hydrogen bond acceptors. In embodiments, the melting point of the deep eutectic solvent blend is lower than the individual components.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a multilayer coating film whereby it is possible to form a multilayer coating film that exhibits superior sag resistance, mirror finish, and luster. A first coating film of a first aqueous coating material (P1) having a specific composition, a second colored coating film of a second aqueous colored coating material (P2) that has a specific coating material solid component concentration (NVP2) and contains a lustrous pigment (BP2), and a clear-coat coating film of a clear coat coating material (P3) are formed on an object to be coated, and a multilayer coating film including the first coating film, the second colored coating film, and the clear-coat coating film is heated to cure the coating films simultaneously.
