Abstract

A method for forming a multilayer coated film on an object includes steps (1) to (3) below. A first colored coating material is applied to the object, thereby forming a first colored coated film (step (1)). The first colored coating material includes an iron-oxide-coated aluminum pigment and a quinacridone pigment and has a light reflectance property at specific wavelengths. A second colored coating material is applied to the first colored coated film, thereby forming a second colored coated film (step (2)). The second colored coating material includes a perylene pigment and has a specific hue. A clear coating material is applied to the second colored coated film (step (3)). A color difference ΔE between the first colored coated film and the multilayer coated film is in a range of 20 to 30.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for forming a multilayer coated film on an object to be coated, the object to be coated having undergone electrodeposition coating and intermediate coating, the method comprising the following steps (1) to (3):
step (1): applying a first water-based colored coating material to the object, thereby forming a first colored coated film, the first colored coating material containing an iron-oxide-coated aluminum pigment, a diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment, a carbon black pigment, and a quinacridone pigment, and the first colored coating material giving a cured coated film which, when having a thickness of 10 μm, has a light reflectance in a range of 30% to 35% at wavelengths of 650 nm to 700 nm and has a light reflectance in a range of 15% or less at wavelengths of 410 nm to 440 nm and at wavelengths of 510 nm to 590 nm,
step (2): applying a second water-based colored coating material to the first colored coated film, thereby forming a second colored coated film, the second colored coating material containing 0.01 to 15% by mass of a perylene pigment based on the total amount of resin solid components in the second colored coating material, and the second colored coating material giving a cured coated film which, when having a thickness of 7 μm, has a hue in a range of 35°±5° in terms of hue angle h according to L*C*h color system chromaticity diagram, and
step (3): applying a clear coating material to the second colored coated film, thereby forming a clear coated film,
wherein a color difference ΔE between the first colored coated film and the multilayer coated film obtained by the steps (1) to (3) is in a range of 20 to 30,
the first colored coated film has a thickness in a range of 5 μm to 10 μm in terms of the thickness of the cured coated film,
the first colored coating material has a solid concentration of 10% to 40%, and
each of the first colored coating material and the second colored coating material includes a thermosetting resin composition including: a base resin having a crosslinkable functional group, and a crosslinking agent, wherein the base resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of acrylic resins, polyester resins, alkyd resins and urethane resins, and the crosslinking agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of melamine resins, urea resins and polyisocyanate compounds.

2. The method for forming a multilayer coated film according to claim 1 , wherein the second colored coated film has a thickness in a range of 4 μm to 10 μm in terms of the thickness of the cured coated film.

3. A coated article obtained by the method for forming a multilayer coated film according to claim 1 .

4. The method for forming a multilayer coated film according to claim 1 , wherein the second colored coating material further contains an iron oxide red pigment.
