A surface decorated article in which a surface is entirely or partially decorated with a coating of a first and second glitter paints each using a flaky glitter material as a pigment, wherein first paint particles at a low viscosity with a relatively high solvent dilution ratio formed by coarsely particulating a glitter paint and second paint particles at a high viscosity with a relatively low solvent dilution ratio formed by coarsely particulating a glitter paint are coated in a state mixed with each other, to form the coating comprising areas in which the first paint particles are dried to solidify and areas in which the second paint particles are dried to solidify are mixed together in a spotwise pattern. The surface of articles can be provided with colors or textures exhibiting unique and high quality feelings.

Surface decorated article and decoration method thereof

The present invention provides a thermosetting coating resin consisting of a branched polymer, which branched polymer is obtained by copolymerizing a macromolecular monomer having a radical-polymerizable group at one end in the molecule and having a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000-10,000, with another radical-polymerizable monomer, which branched polymer contains the unit of said macromolecular monomer in a proportion of 40-99.5% by weight based on the amount of total constitutional units, which branched polymer has a cross-linkable functional group, and which branched polymer has a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000-30,000. The present invention further provides a process for producing such a thermosetting coating resin.
