Abstract:
Candy color metallic paint finishes can be formed or repaired by applying to a substrate a colored liquid base coating composition containing a colored metal oxide-coated nontransparent silver dollar aluminum flake pigment and optional additional colored pigments or dyes dispersed in a first hardenable binder to form a reflective colored base layer that hides the primed substrate and has a sparkling metallic appearance. A colored liquid intermediate coating composition containing a colored pigment or dye dispersed in a second hardenable binder is applied to the base layer to form a colored intermediate layer that increases the color saturation of incident light reflected from the base layer. The intermediate layer can be overcoated with a liquid clearcoat composition. The completed finish can replicate an original equipment manufacturer multilayer candy color metallic finish, while providing ease of application, low sensitivity to layer thickness variation, and low mottle.

Claim (Index 23):
A red-hued candy color metallic paint finishing system for repairing a hardened red-hued candy color metallic paint finish on a portion of a vehicle used to transport people or objects, wherein the vehicle comprises a car, bus, truck, motorcycle, train, tram, ship, boat, aircraft or spacecraft; the hardened candy color metallic paint finish comprises a base layer containing aluminum flake pigment dispersed in a first hardened binder that is a film-forming natural or synthetic polymer suitable for use in a paint, the base layer having a sparkling metallic appearance and being overcoated with a translucent colored layer containing a dye dispersed in a second hardened binder that is a film-forming natural or synthetic polymer suitable for use in a paint or clearcoat, the translucent colored layer having a thickness at least twice that of the base layer; and wherein the candy color metallic paint finishing system for repairing the hardened candy color metallic paint finish on such portion of the vehicle used to transport people or objects comprises:\n a. a red-hued colored liquid base coating composition comprising colored metal oxide-coated nontransparent silver dollar aluminum flake pigment particles that are generally flat, thin high (10:1 or more) aspect ratio particles having much greater length and width than thickness, and one or more additional red-hued perylene pigments or dyes, dispersed in a third hardenable binder that is a film-forming natural or synthetic polymer suitable for use in a paint, the red-hued colored liquid base coating composition containing about 0.1 to about 20 wt. % of the colored metal oxide-coated nontransparent silver dollar aluminum flake pigment particles expressed on a dry solids basis and the red-hued colored liquid base coating composition containing about 0.1 to about 20 wt. % of the one or more additional red-hued perylene pigments or dyes expressed on a dry solids basis, wherein application of the red-hued colored liquid base coating composition to a substrate at a dry film thickness of about 12 to about 50 m provides a red-hued reflective colored layer that hides the substrate and has a sparkling metallic appearance; and b. a red-hued colored liquid intermediate coating composition comprising one or more red-hued perylene pigments or dyes dispersed in a fourth hardenable binder that is a film-forming natural or synthetic polymer suitable for use in a paint or clearcoat, the translucent colored layer, wherein the red-hued colored liquid intermediate coating composition contains up to 2 wt. % of the one or more red-hued perylene pigments or dyes expressed on a dry solids basis, and wherein application of the red-hued colored liquid intermediate coating composition containing up to 2 wt. % of the one or more red-hued perylene pigments or dyes expressed on a dry solids basis to the red-hued colored liquid base coating composition applied to the substrate at a dry film thickness of about 12 to about 50 \u03bcm provides a further colored layer that increases the color saturation of incident light reflected from the reflective colored layer that hides the substrate and has a sparkling metallic appearance.
