FIELD: manufacturing technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of making retroreflective articles. Method comprises mixing a metal pigment with a binder material. Said mixture is applied to a surface of a substrate. Said surface can be a flat planar surface or be contoured or have arcuate regions. Binder material forms a binder material layer and the metal pigment forms a leafing pigment layer near a top surface of the binder material layer. Transparent microsphere lenses are embedded in the top surface of the binder material layer. Leafing metal pigment layer conforms to a rear embedded surface of the microsphere lenses to thereby form a retroreflective article. Related retroreflective articles are also disclosed.
EFFECT: invention provides an increase in the efficiency of retroreflective articles.
