Abstract
A method for painting automobiles and other articles of manufacture which admits of the use of medium to high concentration of metal pigments, can provide high gloss finish coatings and employs a low concentration of volatile solvents comprising application of a relatively thin, highly pigmented, water-based coating to a substrate, air drying or optionally, heat curing, application of an unpigmented or lightly pigmented water-based coating that is transparent on curing, and heat curing of the powder coating. Products bearing unique finish coatings prepared by this method are claimed.
