A coating composition includes a base coating resin; and an overlay coating resin; where the base coating resin includes micro-impressions and planar areas, where the following expression is satisfied for the coating composition: P*TB >A*TO, where A is the area of the micro-impressions, P is the area of the planar areas, TB is the tensile strength of the base coating resin, and TO is the tensile strength of the overlay coating resin. In some cases, TB, is greater than TO. A process for preparing the coating compositions includes applying a base coating resin to a substrate, micro-impressioning a top surface of the base coating resin to provide a micro-impressioned top surface of the base coating including micro-impressions and non-impressioned planar areas, and applying an overlay coating resin to the micro-impressioned top surface of the base coating.
