Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for forming a multilayer coating film, the method comprising sequentially applying a colored coating composition (X), an effect pigment dispersion (Y), and a clear coating composition (Z) to a substrate to form an uncured colored coating film, an uncured effect coating film, and an uncured clear coating film, respectively, and heating the uncured colored coating film, the uncured effect coating film, and the uncured clear coating film to simultaneously cure these three coating films, thereby forming a multilayer coating film; wherein the effect pigment dispersion (Y) contains water, a specific surface modifier (A), a flake-effect pigment (B), and a viscosity modifier (C); and a film obtained by applying the effect pigment dispersion (Y) to a dry film thickness of 0.2 μm has a light transmittance at a wavelength of 550 nm of 10 to 50%.

Claim (Index 2):
The method for forming a multilayer coating film according to  claim 1 , wherein the clear coating composition (Z) is a one-component clear coating composition; and\n the effect pigment dispersion (Y) and/or the clear coating composition (Z) contains at least one crosslinkable component (D) selected from the group consisting of melamine, a melamine derivative, (meth)acrylamide, an N-methylol group- or N-alkoxymethyl group-containing (meth)acrylamide copolymer, and a blocked or unblocked polyisocyanate compound, when the effect pigment dispersion (Y) contains the crosslinkable component (D), the content thereof as a solids content is within a range of 10 to 100 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the solids content of the effect pigment in the effect pigment dispersion (Y), and when the clear coating composition (Z) contains the crosslinkable component (D), the content thereof as a solids content is within a range of 5 to 25 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the resin solids content of the clear coating composition (Z).
