Double Sided Material

The Double Sided material lets you assign two different materials to the front and back faces of an object.

On the right, a double sided material creates a pattern for the inside of the trash can.

Note: If even one sub-material has its shading set to Wire (see Shader Basic Parameters Rollout), the entire material displays and renders as a wire material.

Translucency

Sets the amount that one material shows through the other. This is a percentage that can range from 0.0 to 100.0.

At intermediate values, the specified percentage of the inner material "bleeds through" and is visible on outer faces. Default=0.0.

You can animate this parameter.
