The lacquer contains a binder, a metal pigment, a color pigment, organic solvent in water wherein the binder includes a combination of hard and flexible resins. The ratio of these resin is adjusted so that the elastic-plastic behavior of the lacquer coating matches that of the plastic polymer sheet. In this fashion, the coated sheet can be deformed without causing substantial blistering or cracking of the coating on the polymer sheet.
