Desirable appearance results are obtained when the gel-phase colorant solids content in the coating formulation is above a critical value, typically of about 15% by weight. The appearance effect may become diminished as the gel-phase colorant content drops. Preferably, best patterns develop when there is a discernable difference between the gel-phase colorant and tinting colors.
