A method for producing a multilayer two-tone finish on a substrate, such as automobile and truck bodies or parts thereof, by applying an improved clearcoat composition as the exterior most coating on top of the accent color and main body color basecoats. The clearcoat composition has improved compatibility over both waterborne and solventborne basecoats. The composition includes a film-forming binder comprising a carbamate material, a curing agent, typically a monomeric melamine curing agent, and a hydroxy functional silane component. When used as a clearcoat over a standard pigmented basecoat, the resulting coating provides a substantially durable and wrinkle free appearance and excellent adhesion to waterborne and solventborne basecoats, baked or unbaked.
