A high solids coating composition suitable for use, for example, as a high performance automotive coating is provided, which comprises (1) a particular polyurethane polyol which is the reaction product of an asymmetric diol component and an isocyanate component, and (2) an hydroxyl groups-reactive crosslinking agent. When formulated as a one-pack coating preferably with an aminoplast crosslinking agent, these coating compositions possess a number of desirable properties including excellent acid etch resistance.

Acid etch resistant coatings containing polyurethane polyols

A polyurethane polyol is provided, which is the reaction product of a particular isocyanate component and a particular diol component in a specified ratio, which polyol component is selected from substantially monomeric diols wherein the hydroxyl groups are separated by 3 carbon atoms or less. Such polyurethane polyols possess a desirable spectrum of molecular weight properties, making them especially suitable for use in formulating high solids, high performance coatings.
