Infrared reflective coating compositions and cured coatings deposited on substrates and multi-component composite coating systems are disclosed. The coating composition includes an infrared transmitting pigment and an infrared reflecting pigment. In certain respects, the present invention relates to a coating composition comprising (a) a film-forming resin, (b) a colored and / or opaque infrared reflective pigment, and (c) an infrared transparent pigment. These coating compositions, when formed into a cured coating, (1) at least 15% total solar reflectance as measured according to ASTM E 903-96; and (2) 5ΔE units when compared to the color of the control coating The following angle-dependent color changes are presented: |
