Abstract
A process for manufacturing a metallized part using the island coating method, including spray depositing a primer layer, basecoat layer, or combined primer/basecoat layer. Each layer contains an increased amount of film forming polymer by using liquid CO.sub.2 as a supplemental carrier along with a reduced amount of organic solvent carrier thereby reducing waste disposal costs and environmental concerns. Further, this modified island coating system can be used to deposit layers of 1.5 to 2.0 mils thick and maintain the aesthetic properties of the metallizing island coating system at a reduced cost and with minimal variability among parts.
