Abstract
A multilayer color and/or effect coating on a substrate, wherein the coating includes a clearcoat layer having a dry film thickness of 10 μm to 50 μm, and the coating includes a basecoat layer having a dry film thickness of 6 μm to 35 μm, incorporating color and/or effect pigments whose orientation within the basecoat layer influences the optical properties of the coating, and the basecoat layer includes control particles that control the orientation of the color and/or effect pigments, wherein the control particles are characterized by a d10 of at least 50% of the dry film thickness of the basecoat layer and by a d50 of 80% to 120% of the dry film thickness of the basecoat layer, and by a d100 of not more than 200% of the dry film thickness of the basecoat layer.
