Abstract
Abstract The present invention provide a novel coating method for forming a metallic coat having excellent appearance. The coating method comprises the successive steps of: (a) coating an article with an sealercoating composition, (b) coating the sealercoated article with an aqueous metallic basecoating composition without curing the sealercoating composition, (c) flashing and/or baking the article obtained in Step (b), (d) coating the article obtained in Step (c) with a thermosetting clear coating composition, and, (e) baking the coated article.
