A method includes a step of applying an aqueous 2-package type first colored paint to form an uncured first colored coating film; a step of applying an aqueous 1-package type second colored paint to form an uncured second colored coating film; a step of applying a solvent-based 2-package type clear paint to form an uncured clear coating film; and a step of heating the uncured first colored coating film, the uncured second colored coating film and the uncured clear coating film to 75 to 100° C. to simultaneously cure these films. The solvent-based 2-package type clear paint contains a hydroxyl group-containing acrylic resin and a polyisocyanate compound in a ratio of 1.5 to 2.0 equivalents of isocyanate groups in the polyisocyanate compound relative to 1 equivalent of hydroxyl groups in the hydroxyl group-containing acrylic resin.

Method for forming a multilayer coating film

A bell cup () of a rotary atomization-type coating device () is provided. This device has a rotary shaft () and a feed tube () inserted in the rotary shaft. The bell cup is fitted to a tip end part of the rotary shaft and has a coating material spreading surface () on an inner surface of the bell cup. The feed tube discharges a coating material to the coating material spreading surface. The coating material spreading surface includes a region extending from a predetermined position on a proximal end side to a distal end edge. The region is constituted of a convex curved surface toward an extension of the rotary shaft. The outermost surface of at least part (B) of the coating material spreading surface is covered by a diamond-like carbon film () free from silicon at least on its outermost surface.

A part mounting device is provided for mounting a front end module onto a vehicle body. The device comprises a frame structure vertically movably mounted on a carry truck through a lifter, a holding device capable of holding the front end module onto the frame structure, a positioning bar slidably disposed on the frame structure, and an actuator capable of moving the positioning bar on the frame structure. Positioning pins are movably held on both ends of the positioning bar and engageable with positioning openings formed in a front end of the vehicle body. When the positioning pins are brought into engagement with the positioning openings, the frame structure is moved to a position to establish a positioning of the front end module relative to the vehicle body, and when then the actuator moves the positioning bar in a given direction, the front end module is moved toward the front end of the vehicle body together with the frame structure keeping the positioning of the front end module relative to the vehicle body.
