Decorative laminate including metallic layer and method for producing the same, and metallic coating composition

A decorative laminate comprising:

• at least one selected from the group consisting of a substrate and a release liner;
• and
• a metallic layer containing metal pigment particles and a binder, the metal pigment particles having a particle diameter D50 of from 5 to 25 micrometers and a particle diameter D90 of from 10 to 30 micrometers, the metallic layer having a lightness L* value in CIE1976 L*a*b* chromaticity coordinates of from 85 to 95,
• wherein the metallic layer comprises a metal pigment particle layer containing the metal pigment particles, the metal pigment particle layer having a surface roughness Ra evaluated by a laser microscope of 2.0 micrometers or less, and
• wherein the metal pigment particles are applied onto the substrate while shear is applied.
