• an abrasive material comprising a plurality of abrasive particles attached to a backing substrate with an adhesive, wherein the plurality of abrasive particles are arranged in one or more patterns on the backing substrate, the one or more patterns comprising at least one of longitudinally aligned particles or laterally aligned particles;
• a continuous size coat layer applied to the abrasive material and covering essentially all of a first side of the abrasive article, the continuous size coat layer comprising a first color;
• and
• a discontinuous layer applied to a portion of the first side of the abrasive material and covering a corresponding portion of the continuous size coat layer,
• wherein the discontinuous layer comprises a second color different than the first color, and
• wherein the discontinuous layer is a second size coat layer applied over a portion of the continuous size coat layer.

An abrasive article comprising:

• a backing substrate;
• a plurality of particles attached to the backing substrate, wherein the plurality of particles are arranged in a repeating pattern on the backing substrate;
• an adhesive for attaching the particles to the backing substrate;
• a continuous size coat layer applied to the plurality of particles and covering essentially all of a first side of the backing substrate, the continuous size coat layer comprising a first color;
• and
• a discontinuous layer applied to less than an entirety of the first side of the backing substrate to cover a portion of the size coat layer,
• wherein the discontinuous layer comprises a second color different from the first color, and the second color is in high contrast to the first color, and wherein the discontinuous layer is a second size coat layer applied over a portion of the continuous size coat layer.
