<p>A ceramic single layer-coated metal sheet which is decorative and of high weatherability, comprises a metal substrate and a transparent ceramic layer formed on the metal substrate by a dry process such as physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition, said transparent ceramic layer having a thickness of 0.05 to 5 mu m and a refractive index in the visible region of at least 2.0. A ceramic multiple layer-coated metal sheet of like properties has a colored ceramic layer between the substrate and the transparent ceramic layer, the colored layer being formed of at lest one material selected from the nitrides, carbides and carbonitrides of Ti, Zr, Hf, Cr, Nb and Al and preferably having a thickness of 0.1 to 1 mu m.</p> |
