A coating comprsing a polymer (I)-containing coating component and colloidal. silica (II) of 60 nm or less average particle diameter, wherein 0.5 to 20 parts by mass, in terms of solid content, of colloidal silica (II) is contained per 100 parts by mass of polymer (I) and wherein the area of colloidal silica exposed from the surface of the coating occupies 35% or more based on the coating surface. This coating exhibits excellent antifouling performance and excels in transparency, weather resistance, water resistance, and elongation degree.
