[Problem] To provide highly anti-corrosive thin platelet-like metal pigments which have high corrosion resistance and good dispersibility even in a strong alkaline atmosphere thereby maintaining the inherent metallic luster of thin platelet-like metal substrates. [Solution] The highly anti-corrosive thin platelet-like metal pigments in which the surface of thin platelet-like metal substrates are treated with phosphoric acid compounds and/or boric acid compounds, and further coated with a layer containing hydrated tin oxide.
