The article concerns the evaluation of the possibility of using the optical profilometry method in the analysis of the destruction process of acrylic coatings exposed at a climate station in an industrial-urban atmosphere. It was found that the observed changes do not allow to clearly assess the durability of the tested coatings. It seems that the method used may play a supporting role in assessing the quality of the coatings because the surface maps show the number and size of pores in the coating. Therefore, this method can be used, for example, to help determine the optimal parameters of the coating process (e.g. spray pressure).
