Abstract
A paint transfer article useful in forming a protective or colored coating on a compound structural component. The paint transfer article comprises an optional carrier liner sequentially covered with continuous layers of a colored layer having a colored base layer and an optional clear coating, a reinforcing layer, and an optional heat-activatable adhesive. The reinforcing layer has a sufficiently low glass transition temperature and a sufficiently high tensile modulus to resist damage to itself and the colored layer upon impact or under moderate pressure. Also a method of paint transfer using the article, a method of preparing the composite, a cold-formable painted metal bank, and a method for cold-forming painted parts.
