  • Publication number: 20240018319
    Abstract: A multilayer coating film includes a lustrous layer containing a luster material, and a colored layer stacked on the lustrous layer, containing a reddish coloring agent, and having translucency. For the lustrous layer, when a light incident angle (an angle with respect to a line perpendicular to the surface of the lustrous layer) is 45° and L*(?) represents the L* value of the lightness index of reflected light measured at a light receiving angle (the angle of inclination toward a light source side from a specular reflection direction) ?, L*(?) at 45°???80° and 100°???110° is 10 or less, and when the luster material is projected onto the bottom surface of the lustrous layer, the percentage of the projected area of the luster material on the bottom surface is 3% or more to 70% or less per unit area.

  • Publication number: 20240018365
    Abstract: A multilayer coating film includes a lustrous layer containing a luster material and a colored layer containing a reddish coloring agent, and having translucency. Regarding a Y value of an XYZ colorimetric system calibrated with a standard white plate, when a light incident angle is 45°, Y(5°) represents a Y value of reflected light measured at a light receiving angle of 5°, and Y(15°) represents a Y value of reflected light measured at a light receiving angle of 15°, the lustrous layer satisfies the following: Y(5°) is 30 or more to 700 or less; Y(15°)=k×Y(5°) (where k is a coefficient); and k is 0.01 or more to 0.3 or less. The concentration of the reddish coloring agent in the colored layer is 1 mass % or more to 17 mass % or less.

  • Publication number: 20230415454
    Abstract: A multilayer coating film includes a lustrous layer containing a luster material and a blackish coloring agent, and a colored layer containing a reddish coloring agent, and having translucency. A slope of a tangent of a spectrum of a spectral transmittance, defined as an absolute value, of the colored layer at the wavelength of 620 nm is 0.02 nm?1 or more and 0.06 nm?1 or less, the spectral transmittance being obtainable by dividing a spectral reflectance measured for the colored layer stacked on the lustrous layer at the light receiving angle of 15° in the case of the light incident angle of 45°, by a spectral reflectance measured for the lustrous layer from which the colored layer is removed and a surface of which is therefore exposed, at the light receiving angle of 15° in the case of the light incident angle of 45°.
