Base coats and methods of producing the same are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of producing a base coat includes forming a CPO intermediate and a color intermediate. The CPO intermediate includes a CPO solvent and a chlorinated polyolefin, where the chlorinated polyolefin is present in the CPO intermediate at from about 5 to about 20 weight percent, based on a total weight of the CPO intermediate. The color intermediate includes a color imparting additive and a color solvent that is different than the CPO solvent. The CPO intermediate and the color intermediate are combined to form the base coat.

Base coats and methods of producing the same

Base coats, methods of using base coats, and methods of producing base coats are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of producing a base coat includes forming a CPO intermediate and a color intermediate. The CPO intermediate includes a chlorinated polyolefin at from about 5 to about 20 weight percent, based on a total weight of the CPO intermediate, as well as a CPO solvent. The color intermediate includes a color imparting additive and a color solvent that is different than the CPO solvent. The CPO intermediate and the color intermediate are combined to form the base coat, where the base coat includes from about 1 to about 3 weight percent chlorinated polyolefin and from about 5 to about 30 weight percent solids, based on a total weight of the base coat.
