Publication number: 20090029133Abstract: Coating of a cosmetic finish applied to a metallic surface is provided to prevent the cosmetic finish from oxidizing and tarnishing. A clear adhesion promoting layer with a thickness of 5 to 10 microns is applied to the cosmetically finished metallic surface. A clear wear resistant layer with a thickness of 25 to 35 microns is subsequently applied over the clear adhesion promoting layer. In one variation, the metallic surface is first painted after which a portion of the painted surface is removed to expose the cosmetic finish. In another variation, the metallic surface has a raised portion representing e.g. a logo, emblem or other feature. In this case, the paint and a small amount of the metal substrate from the raised portion are removed to expose the cosmetic finish.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2008Publication date: January 29, 2009Inventors: Nicholas Merz, Richard Powell
