A method for forming a multilayer coating film includes forming a base coating film, a photoluminescent coating film, and forming a clear coating in this order, wherein the photoluminescent coating film uses a photoluminescent pigment dispersion containing a scaly photoluminescent pigment having a thickness T of 1 to 65 nm, wherein when all photoluminescent pigment present in the multilayer coating film is projected onto the surface of the multilayer coating film, the area occupancy ratio R indicating how much of the surface of the multilayer coating film is occupied by the parts in which the photoluminescent pigment is projected, is 0.1 to 50 percent; and the T and R satisfy “T (nm)×R (%)≤2000”. The obtained multilayer coating film can manifest excellent photoluminescence.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a coated material by using a composition that can be spray-coated, and that does not run downward after coating (i.e., rheology controllable).

In a method for coating motor vehicle wheel rims, a polymer priming layer, a polymer intermediate layer, a decorative layer of a heat-cured polymer layer with embedded flake-like metal pigments covering the visible surface of the decorative layer, and a polymer cover layer are consecutively applied to the wheel rim metal surface. The coated wheel rims achieve a polished metal appearance without substantial extra costs by producing the polymer intermediate layer with a high-gloss surface and applying the decorative layer to the high-gloss surface of the polymer intermediate layer in the wet spraying method with a layer thickness of max. 2 m, where it is dried at ambient temperature and, before applying the polymer cover layer, it is fixed to the polymer intermediate layer via a thermal post-treatment so that it adheres to the surface thereof with a cross-cut pull-off strength of Gt=0 to Gt=2.

A protective coating method of a material such as aromatic polyurethane substrates is effected through a process that promotes coating adhesion to the substrate while providing a wood-like aesthetic. Closed cells on the surface of the aromatic polyurethane are opened via sanding techniques to promote adhesion. Once a sufficient surface is achieved, the substrate is coated using spray techniques to protect the aromatic polyurethane from ultra-violet light exposure. The wood-like appearance is achieved through embossing a wood-grain on the deformable surface and subsequently filling the grain with a contrasting agent to highlight its appearance through a reverse-roll-coating technique. Abrasion properties are achieved through a final clear top coat that allows both the contrast agent and the top coat to fully cure.
