Solar control coating with discontinuous metal layer

A coated article, comprising:

• a substrate;
• and
• a coating over at least a portion of the substrate, the coating comprising:
• a first dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the substrate, wherein the first dielectric layer comprises a first film and a second film;
• a first continuous metallic layer over the first dielectric layer;
• a first primer layer over the first continuous metallic layer;
• a second dielectric layer over the first primer layer comprises a first film and a second film;
• a second discontinuous metallic layer over the second dielectric layer;
• a second primer layer over the second discontinuous metallic layer;
• a third dielectric layer over the second primer layer, wherein the third dielectric layer comprises a first film, and a second film;
• a third continuous metallic layer over the third dielectric layer;
• a third primer layer over the third continuous metallic layer;
• a fourth dielectric layer over the third primer layer, wherein the fourth dielectric layer comprises a first film and a second film;
• and
• a protective coating over the fourth dielectric layer;
• wherein the coated article has a visible light reflectance ranging from 20% to 40%.
