This method for painting a surface (S62) of a component (6) with a pattern includes at least the following steps consisting in applying a first coating product on at least a portion of the surface, automatically applying at least one portion of a mask (12) on a portion (Z62) of the surface, applying a second coating product and on the surface and removing the mask (12). Preferably, the mask (12) is at least partially automatically applied in the form of at least one layer (122, 124, 126) of non-atomized fluid, the layer being obtained by moving (A1) an applicator (16) delivering the non-atomized fluid along the portion (Z62) of the surface (S62) where the mask (12) is to be applied.

A vehicle wheel is defined by a substrate including a face and a rim portion. The face defines a plurality of spokes extending radially outwardly between a central portion of the face and the rim portion and defining a mating portion. An applique is affixed to the wheel at the mating portion. A polymer over-coating that is substantially transparent extends over the applique and the wheel substrate defining a continuous polymer surface over the applique and the wheel substrate.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a method for forming an excellent multi-layer coating film of high chroma and brightness and a rich color. With the method, color mottling does not occur easily in the coating film and the design obtained is homogeneous even without strict control of variations in film thickness during coating. The method for forming the excellent multi-layer coating film comprises: forming a metallic base coating film on the surface of the object to be coated by applying a metallic base coating containing a shiny material; then forming a color base coating film by applying a color base coating; subsequently forming a clear coating film by applying a clear coating on the color base coating film; and heat-curing the metallic base coating film, the color base coating film and the clear coating film obtained. In the method, the light reflectance of the metallic base coating film is in a specified range and the light transmittance of the single color base coating film obtained by heat-curing the color base coating film as a single film is adjusted to a specified range.

The present invention provides a coating composition capable of forming a coating film that is applicable to a variety of industrial products, particularly automobile exterior panels, while exhibiting a high lightness and a low ultraviolet transmittance at a wavelength of 420 to 480 nm. The present invention relates to a coating composition comprising a chloride process titanium oxide pigment, a yellow iron oxide pigment, a carbon black pigment having a primary average particle size of 15 to 80 nm, and a resin composition, which is a vehicle-forming component.

A coating composition having excellent adhesion between coating layers is provided. This disclosure is particularly directed to a 1K waterborne coating composition having hydrophobic polytrimethylene ether polyol containing crosslinkable functional hydroxyl groups. The 1K waterborne coating composition can be used in a multi-layer coating that can comprise a primer layer, a basecoat layer, and optionally, a clearcoat layer. The 1K waterborne coating composition of this disclosure can provide improved adhesion between coating layers, such as between a primer layer and a basecoat layer, between two or more basecoat layers, or between a basecoat layer and a clearcoat layer. This disclosure is further directed to a coating composition comprising components derived from renewable resources.

A method for manufacturing a golf ball having a multi-layered pattern is provided. Firstly, a semi-finished product of the golf ball is provided and includes a ball-shaped body and a base layer covering an outer surface of the ball-shaped body. Then, the semi-finished product of the golf ball is rotated at a predetermined rotation speed, and a color paint is applied to the semi-finished product of the golf ball by spraying from each of an upper position, a middle position, and a lower position. The multi-layered pattern includes an upper-layer pattern area, a mid-layer pattern area, and a lower-layer pattern area that are different in color from each other.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a luster coating composition which can form a pearl color coating when used on automobile bodies, characterized in that bluish interference is insignificant in a highlight of the coating film, a yellowish transparent color is weak in a shade of the coating film and the white color development of the white base coating film is visible in every direction. The present invention provides a luster coating composition comprising an interference luster pigment and a titanium dioxide pigment, wherein a volume average particle size D90 of the titanium dioxide pigment is within a range of 700 to 1200 nm, and a volume average particle size D50 of the titanium dioxide pigment is within a range of 250 to 900 nm, and a mass ratio of the interference luster pigment and the titanium dioxide pigment is within a range of 10/1 to 5/1 represented in the mass ratio “the interference luster pigment/the titanium dioxide pigment”. The present invention further provides a multi layered coating film obtained by a method for producing a multi layered coating film in which the luster coating composition is used, and a multi layered coating film formed thereby.

Ophthalmic devices coated with an active agent eluting coating are provided herein. Placement of the coated ophthalmic devices on the surface of eye results in modulation of cells responding to an immune modifying agent and reducing inflammation-related complications in the eye. Methods for treating ocular disorders are also provided herein. The disclosed subject matter is based, in part, on the discovery that ophthalmic devices coated with a cytokine eluting coating can shift early-stage macrophage polarization associated with alleviation of symptoms and causes of inflammatory ocular disorders.

The present disclosure is drawn to printed foam panels for electronic devices. In one example, a printed foam panel for an electronic device can include a substrate, a primer layer on the substrate, a foam pattern on the primer layer, and a clear coating layer on the foam pattern. The foam pattern can cover a first portion of the substrate and leave a second portion uncovered. The foam pattern can include a printed pattern of a foaming composition including a photoacid generator compound and a metal carbonate activated to form the foam pattern.
