A dual gloss coating is formed on a substrate by first applying to the substrate a continuous layer of curable polyurethane or PVC plastisol or organosol. After the layer is at least partially cured, a second discontinuous layer of the same or different urethane or PVC plastisol or organosol is applied to selected areas of the surface of the first layer by rotogravure printing, using a rotogravure cylinder having a number of lines per inch sufficient to produce a difference in gloss effect between the discontinuous layer and the continuous layer after complete curing of the layers, and then completing the cure of the layers.
