Disclosed herein is a fiber cement cladding system such as fiber cement shingles or shakes which can have the appearance of authentic wood. Each individual fiber cement shingle or shake comprises a textured surface having a depth of relief and a coating system disposed on the textured surface. The coating system may include a sealing agent, a basecoat, and a topcoat. In some embodiments, the basecoat is disposed on at least a portion of the sealing agent and the topcoat is disposed on at least a portion of the basecoat. In some embodiments, the basecoat comprises a DFT of 1 to 3 mils and the topcoat comprises a DFT of 0.05 to 2 mils. In some embodiments, the depth of relief of the textured surface of the fiber cement shingle is about .03 to .085.

The present disclosure relates to a primer coating material composition, obtainable by combining at least two components (A) and (B) of a coating material system, which are different from one another and present separately from one another, with component (B) being nonaqueous and including at least one polyisocyanate having more than two free isocyanate groups, at least one organic solvent, and, further, at least one Si-containing compound which contains at least one hydrolyzable radical and at least one non-hydrolyzable organic radical, for at least partial application to at least one optionally pretreated surface of a plastics substrate, to a method for producing a corresponding coating on such a substrate, and to a method for at least partially coating at least one surface of a plastics substrate with a multicoat paint system.
