Coating Composition for Forming Pattern and Coated Article

Abstract

A coating composition for forming a pattern includes a thermoplastic resin, magnetic particles with flaky form and a specific solvent. As the thermoplastic resin, a vinyl acetate based resin, an acryl based resin or a cellulose acetate butyrate resin is preferable. The specific solvent contains a low boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 50° C. or higher and 100° C. or lower, and a high boiling point solvent having a boiling point that is higher than 100° C. and 200° C. or lower. The coating composition for forming a pattern is set so that the viscosity 20 seconds to 60 seconds after application on the surface of an article to be coated is 2,000 mPa·s to 500,000 mPa·s in a normal state, and the viscosity between 60 seconds and 120 seconds after application is no lower than 100,000 mPa·s. In addition, the coating composition is set so that the viscosity between 60 seconds and 120 seconds after application is greater than the viscosity 20 seconds to 60 seconds after application.
