  • Patent number: 7277174
    Abstract: To provide a method for color-matching a paint having brilliant feeling whose reference blend is already known and which contains a brilliant material, comprising (1) a step of obtaining the liquid color measurement data for an enamel paint not containing a brilliant material in accordance with a paint blend excluding the brilliant material and if necessary, a paint additive from a reference paint blend of a paint having brilliant feeling whose reference paint blend is already known, (2) a step of obtaining a toned enamel paint adjusted to the liquid color measurement data for the enamel paint by blending and toning a paint material such as an elementary color paint excluding a brilliant material and if necessary, a paint additive on the basis of the liquid color measurement data for the enamel paint, and (3) a step of color-matching a paint having brilliant feeling by adding a brilliant material and if necessary, a paint additive to the toned enamel paint.

  • Publication number: 20030179269
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing an ink jet printed matter, characterized by forming a white color base coating film layer (I) on a base material surface using a white color base coating material which contains silica fine particles having an oil absorption of 10 to 400 ml/100 g and which has a pigment volume concentration of 5 to 90%, then forming a printed layer (II) thereon by an ink jet system using a water based ink composition and further forming a clear coat layer (III) thereon using a clear coating material. According to the above method, a printed matter which has a preferred pattern and is excellent in a weatherability can be obtained.
