Polymer scale deposition on polymerization reactor inside surfaces in the polymerization of a monomer or monomers having an ethylenic double bond and/or a monomer or monomers having diolefinic double bonds is prevented, peelability or removability of polymer scales deposited on such surface, if any, is improved and the scale inhibitor adherence to the wall surface of glass-lined polymerization reactors is improved by coating the inside surfaces of the reactor in advance with a coating composition comprising a quinone-amine compound having a molecular weight of at least 3,000 as obtained by subjecting at least one aromatic diamine and at least one aromatic quinone to addition reaction in at least one solvent having a solubility parameter of 8.5 to 24.0 and/or a reduced form of said quinone-amine compound and at least one silica organosol or a mixture of at least one silica organosol and at least one alkyl silicate to thereby form a hydrophilic coat film on the surfaces.
