A process to form a multilayer coating film, which is excellent in smoothness and capable of preventing a generation of popping even in case of a thick coating, characterized by that after a cationic electrodeposition coating is coated and cured by heating, an intermediate coating, comprising polymerizable unsaturated compound, photopolymerization initiator, thermal polymerization initiator, and further optionally pigment and/or polyester resin and crosslinking agent, is coated, and the coating film is cured by irradiation with an actinic ray, and then a thermocurable top coating is coated and cured by heating, is disclosed.

Multilayer coating film formation process

This invention is directed to a method of pattern coating, comprising the steps of: coating a substrate with an aqueous colored coating composition comprising a neutralization product of an acrylic copolymer containing an alkoxysilyl group and a carboxyl group and a coloring pigment, using a spray device having a fine-orifice nozzle(s) to give a pattern coating layer, and coating the pattern coating layer with a clear coating composition.

Method of pattern coating

The present invention provides a cationic electrodepositable coating composition comprising:

Cationic electrodepositable coating composition and coating method using

The present invention provides a coating method which comprises applying, onto a material to be coated, a cationic electrodepositable coating composition comprising (A) a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin-amine adduct obtained by a reaction of (A-1) a polyurethane-compound having one terminal isocyanate group in the molecule, obtained by a reaction of (a) a polyhydroxy compound having a number-average molecular weight of 50-8,000, (b) a polyisocyanate compound, and (c) a compound having one active hydrogen atom in the molecule; (A-2) a bisphenol type epoxy resin having at least two epoxy groups in the molecule; and (A-3) an active-hydrogen-containing amine compound, and (B) a nonionic film-forming resin, the weight ratio of the resin (A)/the resin (B) being 15/85 to 95/5 and the coating composition comprising substantially no pigment, then heat-curing the formed electrocoating film; and thereafter applying, onto the cured electrocoating film, an aqueous coating composition comprising a metallic pigment and/or a coloring pigment and a high-solid-content coating composition comprising (C) a carboxyl group-containing compound, (D) a vinyl type polymer containing, in the molecule, an epoxy group, a hydroxyl group and a hydrolyzable alkoxysilyl group, (E) a reactive organopolysiloxane, and (F) crosslinked polymer fine particles but comprising substantially no pigment, by two-coat two-bake or by two-coat one-bake.
