Abstract: In an intermediate coating composition comprising high-acid-value polyester resin, low-acid-value polyester resin, melamine resin containing an imino group and pigments, a ratio (AV1/AV2) of acid value (AV1) of high-acid-value polyester resin to that (AV2) of low-acid-value polyester resin is adjusted to be 1.25-5. A method for forming multilayered coating films using this intermediate coating composition and multilayered coating films prepared using said method are provided, wherein, by specifying the acid value of resins and type of cross-linking agents in the intermediate coating, said multilayered coating films formed even under short-time baking conditions is excellent in its appearance and adhesiveness to the top coating, and said intermediate coating composition is able to maintain its storage stability excellent so as to be capable of shortening the coating processes.
