Abstract
An article is coated with a multi-layer coating having the appearance of stainless steel. The coating comprises a polymeric basecoat layer on the surface of said article and vapor deposited at relatively low pressure on the polymeric basecoat layer a protective and decorative color layer of a refractory metal nitride, refractory metal alloy nitride or the reaction products of a refractory metal or a refractory metal alloy, nitrogen and oxygen, where the nitrogen content of the refractory metal nitride, refractory metal alloy nitride, or reaction products of a refractory metal or refractory metal alloy, nitrogen and oxygen is from about 3 to about 22 atomic percent
