A coating system comprises a substrate and a cured film disposed on the substrate and formed from a coating composition. The coating composition comprises a solvent component and a resin. The resin comprises a reaction product of a polyolefin and an oligomer or polymer. The polyolefin, different from the oligomer or polymer, has a functional group that is reactive with the oligomer or polymer and the functional group is selected from acrylate, methacrylate, carboxyl, hydroxyl, epoxide, anhydride and isocyanate functional groups. The oligomer or polymer and the polyolefin are at least partially immiscible in solution at ambient temperature. The oligomer or polymer is grafted with the polyolefin to form the resin.

Resin for use in a coating composition

Scratch resistance and/or reflow of a refinish topcoat is improved by preparing the topcoat from a refinish topcoat coating composition comprising an unsaturated fatty acid ester polyol that does not undergo oxidative cure when the applied refinish topcoat coating composition is cured.

Scratch resistant refinish clearcoat

A refinish clearcoat composition includes an hydroxyl-functional acrylic polymer. The acrylic polymer has a number average molecular weight of at least about 5000 and is polymerized using at least about 45% by weight cycloaliphatic monomer, based on total monomer weight polymerized. The clearcoat composition is fast drying. Optionally, the clearcoat is cured by low temperature baking. The cured clearcoat surface may be taped without leaving tape marks as soon as the substrate is cooled. The cured clearcoat may undergo wet sanding after baking as soon as the part is cooled, and can then be buffed back to a high gloss finish after sanding and washing.
