Abstract
An article is coated with a multi-layer coating having a bronze color. The coating comprises a polymeric basecoat layer, and a color and protective stack layer comprised of layers of carbon-rich refractory metal or refractory metal alloy carbonitride alternating with layers of nitrogen-rich refractory metal or refractory metal alloy carbonitride.
Claims19
An article having on at least a portion of its surface a multi-layer coating having a bronze color comprising:
- polymeric basecoat layer;
- color and parotective stack layer comprised of layers of carbon-rich refractory metal carbonitride or carbon-rich refractory metal alloy carbonitride alternating with layers of nitrogen-rich refractory metal carbonitride or nitrogen-rich refractory metal alloy carbonitride,
