An article, e.g., a vehicle transparency, includes a first substrate and at least one aesthetic coating deposited over at least a portion of the substrate. The at least one aesthetic coating provides the article with a color defined by -10.ltoreq.a*.ltoreq.0 and -15.ltoreq.b*.ltoreq.5 and a reflectance in the range of 8% to 30%.

An electrochromic switchable transparency, e.g. a window and/or a mirror includes an electrochromic switchable medium between a pair of electrode assemblies. At least one of the electrode assemblies is transparent to visible light and includes an electrode over a surface. In one nonlimiting embodiment of the invention, the electrode has two electrically conducting layers and a bridging layer between and interconnecting the two electrically conducting layers. In one nonlimiting embodiment, the br...

A polyurea composition, a multi-component composite coating and articles formed therefrom, and methods of forming the same are disclosed. The coating composition is formed from a reaction mixture comprising an isocyanate-functional component and an amine-functional component. The ratio of equivalents of isocyanate groups to equivalents of amine groups is greater than 1 while the volume mixing ratio of the isocyanate-functional component to the amine-functional component is capable of being appli...
