Abstract:
A method of forming a composite coating having a polychromatic effect over a substrate, comprising the steps of:applying a first liquid basecoat material over a surface of the substrate;exposing the first liquid basecoat material to air having a temperature ranging from 50.degree. F. (10.degree. C.) to 90.degree. F. (32.5.degree. C.), a relative humidity of 40% to 80% and an air velocity at the surface of the first basecoat material of 20 FPM (0.10 m/s) to 150 FPM (0.76 m/s) for a time period of 10 to 180 seconds to set the first basecoat material; andapplying a second liquid basecoat material over the set first basecoat material by at least one bell applicator to form a composite coating, the second basecoat material comprising effect pigment such that the composite coating has a polychromatic effect.
