This invention provides a polyimide precursor solution having high concentration and low viscosity and a production process thereof, and polyimide coatings and films having excellent physical properties obtained therefrom and a production process thereof. Particularly, it relates to a polyimide precursor solution which contains a salt of a specific diamine with a specific tetracarboxylic acid, as its solute; to a process for the production of the polyimide precursor solution, which comprises allowing 1 mole of a specified diamine to react with 0.3 to 0.9 mole of a specific tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, thereby obtaining a diamine, and subsequently adding 0.95 to 1.05 moles of a specified tetracarboxylic acid to 1 mole of the thus obtained diamine; to a polyimide coating or film obtained from the aforementioned polyimide precursor solution; and to a process for the production of the polyimide coating or film, which comprises coating the aforementioned polyimide precursor solution on a substrate and heating the coat to effect imidization.
