A method for forming a multilayer coating film includes forming a base coating film, a photoluminescent coating film, and forming a clear coating in this order, wherein the photoluminescent coating film uses a photoluminescent pigment dispersion containing a scaly photoluminescent pigment having a thickness T of 1 to 65 nm, wherein when all photoluminescent pigment present in the multilayer coating film is projected onto the surface of the multilayer coating film, the area occupancy ratio R indicating how much of the surface of the multilayer coating film is occupied by the parts in which the photoluminescent pigment is projected, is 0.1 to 50 percent; and the T and R satisfy “T (nm)×R (%)≤2000”. The obtained multilayer coating film can manifest excellent photoluminescence. |
