Abstract: A disk brake pad controls rotation of a disk rotor by pushing a friction surface against the disk rotor while it is rotating. The disk brake pad is formed with respective chamfered portions at respective end portions of the disk brake pad at the incoming and outgoing disk-rotor-rotation sides thereof. An edge of an end portion of the friction surface of the disk brake pad at the incoming disk-rotor-rotation side, and an edge of an end portion at the outgoing disk-rotor-rotation side are formed in a stepped bending shape such that a length of the friction surface in a circumferential direction of the disk rotor becomes shorter in a center of rotation direction of the disk rotor.

Abstract: To obtain a colored metallic paint with which a colored metallic paint film which has excellent features and with which a change in color is produced according to differences in the viewing angle can be formed using the usual cheap pigments without compounding special glitter materials. The present invention provides a paint composition which contains, per 100 parts by weight of a film forming binder (A), from 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of metallic powder (B), from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a first colored pigment (C) of primary particle size from 0.01 to 0.2 .mu.m which is selected from among the group comprising the phthalocyanine, perylene, indanthrone, azomethine, benzimidazolone, quinacridone, anthraquinone, diketopyrolopyrrole and dioxazine based pigments, and from 0.5 to 50 parts by weight of a second colored pigment (D) of primary particle size from 0.1 to 2 .mu.
