A method of forming a multilayer coating film with smoothness, distinct image, adhesion and water resistance when a plurality of uncured coating films are cured at once, and especially when cured at low temperature. The method includes the following steps 1-1 to 1-4: step 1-1: coating an article with a primer coating composition (X) and forming an uncured primer coating film on the article, step 1-2: a coating the article having the uncured primer coating film with an aqueous colored coating composition (Y 1 ) for a base coat, to form an uncured base coat film thereover, step 1-3: coating the article having the uncured primer coating film and uncured base coat film, with a clear coating composition (Z), and forming an uncured clear coating film thereover, and step 1-4: a curing the uncured primer coating film, the uncured base coat coating film and the uncured clear coating film by heating. |
