Coloured DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) nanolayers were prepared by PACVD (Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition) method as decorative coatings on stainless steel sheet. Microhardness of the substrate/coating systems obtained was determined by nanoindentation. The coatings were hard and adherent. Rather attractive DLC coatings of different colours can be produced simply by controlling the coating thickness.
