Color foundation coat and color top coat paint system

A paint system comprising:

• a foundation base component comprising an aqueous latex emulsion and at least one organic color pigment;
• and
• an opaque top coat component applied over the foundation base component, the top coat component comprising at least one organic color pigment, wherein at least about 80% by volume of all color pigments in the top coat component comprise organic color pigments;
• wherein the ratio of the volume percentage of organic color pigments in the foundation base component to the volume percentage of organic color pigments in the top coat component is at least about 2, and wherein at least one of the foundation base component or top coat component comprises an inorganic pigment.

A paint system comprising:

• a foundation base component comprising an aqueous latex emulsion and at least one organic pigment present in an amount sufficient to comprise at least about 8% by volume when thy;
• and
• an opaque top coat component applied over the foundation base component, the top coat component comprising organic color pigments wherein at least about 80% by volume of all color pigments in the top coat component comprise organic color pigments;
• wherein the ratio of the volume percentage of organic color pigments in the foundation base component to the volume percentage of organic color pigments in the top coat component is at least about 2, and wherein at least one of the foundation base component or top coat component comprises an inorganic pigment.

A paint system consisting essentially of:

• a foundation base component comprising an aqueous latex emulsion and at least one organic pigment present in an amount sufficient to comprise at least about 8% by volume when dry;
• and
• an opaque top coat component applied over the foundation base component, the top coat component comprising organic color pigments wherein at least about 80% by volume of all color pigments in the top coat component comprise organic color pigments;
• wherein the ratio of the volume percentage of organic color pigments in the foundation base component to the volume percentage of organic color pigments in the top coat component is at least about 2, and wherein at least one of the foundation base component or top coat component comprises an inorganic pigment.
