A process for producing an adherent relief coating simulating the appearance of liquid droplets on a surface of an article such as a cosmetics container, including the steps of applying the coating by spraying the surface with a curable liquid coating material to form a multiplicity of discrete raised beads of the material distributed over the surface, and curing the applied coating. The beads can be formed by spraying the beading coat under conditions controlled to provide insufficient atomization to form a continuous uniform coating; by applying two successive coatings with silicon or silicone additive incorporated in the first coat to promote autoreticulation of the second coat; or by a combination of these techniques.
