Abstract
FF properties of a multilayer coating film configured to exhibit a warm color through a lustrous layer () and a translucent colored layer () are improved to achieve a metallic textured color having a high-quality color tone. The lustrous layer () contains, in a mixed state, a high-reflection flake () having a visible light reflectance of 90 % or more and a low-reflection flake () having a visible light reflectance that is half (i.e., ½) or smaller than the visible light reflectance of the high-reflection flake () as the luster material. When both of the high-reflection flake () and the low-reflection flake () are projected on a bottom of the lustrous layer (), a ratio of a projected area of the flakes () and () on the bottom of the lustrous layer () is 100 %.
