Retroreflective article and precursor articles formed during the preparation of the retroreflective articles are provided. Also, methods of making both the precursor articles and the retroreflective articles are provided. The retroreflective articles and the precursor articles contain a reflective layer that includes both a reflective metal and a polymeric blend. The polymeric blend includes both a fluorinated polymer and a (meth)acrylate polymer. The retroreflective articles typically have anti-staining properties, anti-corrosion properties, or both. 1. An article comprising:a bead bond layer;an array of multiple transparent microspheres, wherein the multiple transparent microspheres have a first portion that are embedded in a first major surface of the bead bond layer and a second portion protruding from the first major surface of the bead bond layer; anda reflective layer having a buried region disposed between the bead bond layer and the first portion of the transparent microspheres, and an interstitial region disposed on the first major surface of the bead bond layer between the transparent microspheres, wherein the reflective layer comprises a reflective metal and a polymeric blend comprising (a) a fluorinated polymer and (b) a (meth)acrylate polymer.2. The article of claim 1 , further comprising a thermoplastic carrier layer claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the microspheres are embedded in the thermoplastic carrier layer.3. The article of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric blend comprises 5 to 75 weight percent fluorinated polymer and 25 to 95 weight percent (meth)acrylate polymer based on a total weight of polymeric material in the polymeric blend.4. The article of claim 1 , wherein the fluorinated polymer is formed from at least one fluorinated monomer selected from vinylidene fluoride claim 1 , tetrafluoroethylene claim 1 , chlorotrifluoroethylene claim 1 , monofluoroethylene claim 1 , hexafluoropropylene claim 1 , and a fluoroalkyl vinyl ethers having ...
