Abstract
An article is coated with a multi-layer coating having the appearance of nickel. The coating comprises a polymeric basecoat layer on the surface of said article, vapor deposited on the polymeric layer, a stack layer comprised of alternating layers of refractory metal compound or refractory metal alloy compound alternating with refractory metal or refractory metal alloy, and vapor deposited at relatively low pressure on said stack layer a refractory metal or refractory metal alloy nitride color layer where the nitrogen content of said nitride is from about 6 to about 45 atomic percent.
Claims16
An article having on at least a portion of its surface a multi-layer coating having a nickel color comprising:
- layer comprised of polymer;
- stack layer comprised of plurality of alternating layers comprised of refractory metal compound or refractory metal alloy compound alternating with layers comprised of refractory metal or refractory metal alloy;
- vapor deposited color layer comprised of refractory metal nitride or refractory metal alloy nitride wherein said nitrogen content of said refractory metal nitride or refractory metal alloy nitride is from about 6 to about 45 atomic percent, and wherein said layer is deposited at relatively low pressure.
