Description

The present invention relates to a method for forming a coating film capable of expressing the reservoir color of natural lacquer.

In order to protect materials such as metals and plastics for a long period of time, automotive interior parts, exterior materials, and industrial products are required to have weather resistance, water resistance, chemical resistance, and the like. Furthermore, in recent years, it has been required to provide a new texture by painting in order to increase the product power of the various products. One of the high paint colors is the natural lacquer pool color. Therefore, methods have been pursued that can reproduce the texture of natural lacquer industrially.

  In Patent Document 1, as a method of forming a lacquer-like multi-layer coating film having a texture like natural lacquer and excellent weather resistance, a carbon black pigment is coated on a base material with respect to 100 parts by weight of a vehicle solid content in a paint. A first base paint containing -15 parts by weight is applied, a second base paint containing a black dye is applied as a colorant on the obtained coating film, and ceramic beads are used as a gloss adjusting agent on the obtained coating film. Discloses a method of applying a clear paint containing 1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of vehicle solids in the paint. By this method, the lacquer texture can be obtained to some extent, but it is a multilayer coating film containing a gloss adjusting agent, and the transparency and saturation are insufficient.
