A multi-layer coating system includes: a first coating layer formed from a first coating composition including: a film forming resin; and a fluorescent and/or phosphorescent pigment that: (1) emits radiation at an emission wavelength in the range of from 400-1200 nanometers when excited by ultraviolet and/or visible radiation corresponding to an excitation wavelength of the fluorescent and/or phosphorescent pigment; and/or (2) emits radiation at an emission wavelength in the range of from 600-2500 nanometers when excited by visible and/or near infrared radiation corresponding to an excitation wavelength of the fluorescent and/or phosphorescent pigment; and a second coating layer disposed over at least a portion of the first coating layer, which is formed from a second coating composition including: a film forming resin; and a pigment that blocks radiation corresponding to the excitation and/or emission wavelength of the fluorescent and/or phosphorescent pigment in the first coating layer.
