Abstract: According to the present invention, methods of marking in a substrate comprises placing one or more than one magnet adjacent to a substrate while it is being powder coated or after it is powder coated and while the coating is uncured, thereby orienting a magnetic pigment with the magnet having a desired shape to form a desired marking, followed by heating or curing to form a coating film. In another embodiment, the present invention provides marked powder coated substrates in a variety of shapes comprising one or more than one marking formed by orienting a magnetic pigment or interference pigment in a powder coating or by orienting an interference pigment in a liquid coating. In yet another embodiment, the present invention provides markable powder coating compositions comprising magnetic pigments, as well as powder coating compositions comprising interference pigments, such as color shifting pigments.
