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 0.03″ to 0.085″.

Described herein are aqueous coating compositions including at least one dispersion of core/shell particles containing a polyurethane resin as core portion and a crosslinked acrylic resin as shell portion and at least one aqueous polyurethane-polyurea dispersion containing crosslinked polyurethane-polyurea particles. Also described herein is a method for forming a multilayer coating on a substrate using the aqueous coating compositions as basecoat compositions. Also described herein is a multicoat paint system produced by the method.
