<p>A method of producing an image 5 in a coating applied to an article, the method including the steps of - applying one or more magnets 2 to a ferrous substrate 1 to form a magnetic image, - removing the one or more magnets 2, - applying a coating containing magnetic particles, which align with the magnetic image to form the image 5, and - curing the coating to fix the image. The method may include a delay or dwell period between the formation of the magnetic image and the application of the coating containing magnetic particles. Despite the delay or dwell period, the substrate retains the magnetic image and the intensity / clarity of the image will be maintained.</p> |
