Abstract
Articles and methods for forming thin film flakes and replicated coatings having preselected optical properties. The articles generally comprise a flexible web of material and an optical coating formed on one surface of the web. Web materials having the characteristic of being soluble in a preselected liquid enable production of optical paint and optical paint flakes by dissolving the web away from the coating in a container of the liquid and enable the production of replicated optical coating by securing the coating to a substrate and then dissolving the web away from the coating.
