Abstract

A decorative coating and a method for forming a decorative coating on a substrate (2). The decorative coating comprises an absorbing film (1) to attenuate the transmission of visible light through the coating. The method comprises the steps of bringing the substrate (2) into a reaction space, and depositing the absorbing film (1) on the substrate (2). Depositing the absorbing film (1) on the substrate comprises the steps of forming a preliminary deposit of transition metal oxide on the deposition surface and subsequently purging the reaction space, and treating the deposition surface with an organometallic chemical comprising first metal and subsequently purging the reaction space. The steps of forming the preliminary deposit and treating the deposition surface are alternately repeated to increase absorption of the absorbing film (1).
