A substrate material coated with a multi-layer coating composition and a method of coating the substrate material with a multi-layer coating composition. The multi-layer coating composition consists of an inner pigmented film-forming base coat. An intermediary transparent film-forming coating is applied over the base coat, the intermediary coating comprising a blend of iron oxide encapsulated mica pigment in a pigment to binder ratio of about .001 to about .35, and up to about 50 wt.% based upon the weight of the pigment dye of a metal organic complex dye selected from the group consisting of 1:2 cobalt metal organic complex dyes and 1:2 chrome metal organic complex dyes. An outer film-forming transparent top coat coating composition is the third component of the multi-layer coating and is applied over the intermediary coat. The resulting multi-layer coating composition when cured or dried to a hard, durable film on a substrate has an opalescent appearance, and a stained glass glow color effect. |
