Disclosed is a multi-layer coating system comprising pigmented base coat, an overlying layer of pigmented transparent coat, and a layer of transparent non-pigmented protective coat, the multi-layer coating system exhibiting colour shift and opalescent colour effects. The layer of a non-metallic primary base coat comprises a polymeric binder and a base coat pigment. The overlying layer of pigmented transparent intermediate coat comprises a polymeric binder and a pigment comprising particles of transparent metal oxide encapsulated mica and an organic pigment. In this transparent intermediate coat, the colour of the organic pigment is complementary to the colour of the transparent metal oxide encapsulated mica. A layer of non-pigmented transparent protective polymeric clear coat overlies the transparent intermediary coat. |
