A method of making a coating applied to an article is provided. The method includes preparing at least one substrate on the article to be coated, to obtain at least one prepared substrate. The method further includes preparing the coating, obtained by disposing a plurality of high density metal pellets in an adhesive material, to form a metal adhesive matrix, and adding a polymer material over the metal adhesive matrix. The plurality of high density metal pellets is in an amount of at least 90% (ninety percent) by weight of the total weight percent of the coating. The method further includes applying the coating to the prepared substrate, to obtain a mass-enhanced, coated article. The coating thickness and the amount of high density metal pellets are sufficient to provide an attenuation of vibration of the coated article and a reduced risk of unwanted ergonomic effects.

A printable glitter paper includes a first adhesive layer onto which glitter has been deposited, and a second adhesive layer covering the first adhesive layer and glitter. A coating covers the second adhesive layer. Another adhesive layer covers the back side of the printable glitter paper. The printable glitter paper provides excellent retention of the glitter, and a high level of smoothness for high quality printing.

A steel sheet having a film containing an organic resin and a wax on at least one surface of the steel sheet, in which the organic resin is at least one of an acryl-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, a urethane-based resin, a phenol-based resin, a vinyl acetate-based resin, and a polyester-based resin, in which the wax is a polyolefin wax having a melting temperature of 120? C. or higher and 140? C. or lower and an average particle size of 3.0 ?m or less, in which a proportion of the wax in the film is 10 mass % or more, and in which a coating weight per side W (g/m.sup.2) of the film and an arithmetic average roughness Ra (?m) of the steel sheet satisfy relational expression (1) below.
