The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for forming a multilayer coating film using a 3-coat 1-bake process, the method comprising sequentially applying an aqueous first colored coating composition, an aqueous second colored coating composition, and a clear coating composition to a substrate and simultaneously heat-curing the resulting three layers to form a multilayer coating film having an excellent finished appearance, such as smoothness and distinctness of image, as well as metallic feel and no metallic mottling when the composition comprises an effect pigment, and exhibiting excellent coating film performance, such as water resistance. The present invention provides a method for forming a multilayer coating film by a 3-coat 1-bake process comprising sequentially applying an aqueous first colored coating composition, an aqueous second colored coating composition, and a clear coating composition to a substrate, and simultaneously heat-curing the resulting three layers to form a multilayer coating film, wherein the aqueous second colored coating composition contains (A) a film-forming resin and (B) a phosphoric acid compound represented by a specific formula. |
