A substrate is provided with a decorative coating of grained appearance by applying to an opaque surface of the substrate a substantially continuous layer comprising a particulate material and an aqueous polymer binder, and discontinuously removing part of the layer (preferably in streaks or veins) so as to selectively expose part of the opaque surface, the particulate material and the partially removed layer both being lighter in colour than the opaque surface. |
