Abstract

A double-structure coated object includes an outer plate portion configured to produce a target color by stacking a coating film of a first paint and a coating film of a second paint, and an inner plate portion on which a coating film of the second paint is formed. When the coating film is formed on the inner plate portion, and then the first paint and the second paint are sequentially applied to the outer plate portion, paint dust on the inner plate portion is prevented from causing viewers to feel something different about color. To achieve this, the ratio (1BC)/(1BC+2BC) of the spectral reflectance (1BC) of the color of the coating film made of the first paint to the spectral reflectance (1BC+2BC) of the target color is configured to fall within a predetermined range.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A double-structure coated object comprising:
an inner plate portion;
an outer plate portion covering the inner plate portion;
a first layer made of a first paint, and configured to directly coat an electrodeposition coating film; and
a second layer made of a second paint, configured to coat the electrodeposition coating film, and superimposed on the first layer,
wherein the outer plate portion is configured to produce a target color with both the coating films which are the first layer and the second layer,
an overcoating film made of the second paint identical to that of the second layer is formed on the inner plate portion,
the target color is an achromatic color,
the coating films which are the first and second layers are similar in color,
a light interception characteristic of the first layer is superior to that of the second layer,
a color of the first layer has lower lightness than a color of the second layer, and
a ratio (1BC)/(1BC +2BC) of a spectral reflectance (1BC) of the color of the first layer to a spectral reflectance (1BC +2BC) of the target color is greater than or equal to about 0.8 and less than or equal to about 1.0 in an entire visible wavelength region of about 380-780 nm.

2. The double-structure coated object of claim 1 , wherein
the electrodeposition coating film is formed on a surface of the coated object, and the first layer is superimposed directly on a surface of the electrodeposition coating film.

3. A double-structure coated object comprising:
an inner plate portion;
an outer plate portion covering the inner plate portion;
a first layer made of a first paint, and configured to directly coat an electrodeposition coating film; and
a second layer made of a second paint, configured to coat the electrodeposition coating film, and superimposed on the first layer,
wherein the outer plate portion is configured to produce a target color with both the coating films which are the first layer and the second layer,
an overcoating film made of the second paint identical to that of the second layer is formed on the inner plate portion,
the target color is a chromatic color,
the coating films which are the first and second layers being similar in color,
a light interception characteristic of the first layer is superior to that of the second layer,
a color of the first layer has lower lightness than a color of the second layer, and
when a hue range is indicated by dividing a Munsell hue circle into one hundred sectors with a hue of the target color set at 0 and increasing a hue number to +50 in a counterclockwise direction while decreasing the hue number to −50 in a clockwise direction, a ratio (1BC)/(1BC +2BC) of a spectral reflectance (1BC) of the color of the first layer to a spectral reflectance ( 1 BC + 2 BC) of the target color is greater than or equal to about 0.7 and less than or equal to about 1.0 in a portion of the indicated hue range which is greater than or equal to about −5 and less than or equal to about +5, and the ratio (1BC)/(1BC +2BC) is greater than or equal to about 0.9 and less than or equal to about 1.1 outside a portion of the indicated hue range which is greater than or equal to about −30 and less than or equal to about +30.

4. The double-structure coated object of claim 3 , wherein
the electrodeposition coating film is formed on a surface of the coated object, and the first layer is superimposed directly on a surface of the electrodeposition coating film.

5. A double-structure coated object comprising:
an inner plate portion;
an outer plate portion covering the inner plate portion;
a first layer made of a first paint, and configured to directly coat an electrodeposition coating film; and
a second layer made of a second paint, configured to coat the electrodeposition coating film, and superimposed on the first layer,
wherein the outer plate portion is configured to produce a target color with both the coating films which are the first layer and the second layer,
an overcoating film made of the second paint identical to that of the second layer is formed on the inner plate portion,
the coating films which are the first and second layers being similar in color,
a light interception characteristic of the first layer is superior to that of the second layer,
a color of the first layer has higher lightness than a color of the second layer, and
a ratio (1BC)/(1BC +2BC) of a spectral reflectance (1BC) of the color of the first layer to a spectral reflectance (1BC +2BC) of the target color is greater than or equal to about 1.0 and less than or equal to about 1.1 in an entire visible wavelength region of about 380-780 nm.

6. The double-structure coated object of claim 5 , wherein
the electrodeposition coating film is formed on a surface of the coated object, and the first layer is superimposed directly on a surface of the electrodeposition coating film.
