A paint composition comprising a powder paint uniformly dispersed in an aqueous solution of a water soluble carboxylated resin. Use is made of a powder paint having a mean particle size of 1-100 microns and preferably comprising a thermosetting resin as the vehicle. This paint composition contains no surfactant but, nevertheless, features high stability of the dispersion phase and can provide paint films of excellent resistance to water. This paint composition may utilize recovered waste powder paint, i.e. a mixture of differently colored powder paints, preferably with the addition of a black pigment such as carbon black.
