Abstract
An aqueous coating composition comprising: (A) 10 to 95% by weight (based on solid content) of a film forming polymer which is prepared by neutralizing at least a part of acid groups contained in a copolymer having a number average molecular weight ranging from 6,000 to 50,000 prepared by copolymerizing (A1) 5 to 40% by weight of an amide group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (A2) 3 to 15% by weight of an acid group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (A3) 10 to 40% by weight of a hydroxyl group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and (A4) a remainder amount of ethylenically unsaturated monomers other than the monomers (A1) to (A3); and (B) 5 to 90% by weight (based on solid content) of an aqueous dispersion of carboxyl group-containing acrylic resin particles having a particle size ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 .mu.m and an acid value ranging from 20 to 80. An aqueous metallic-base coating composition which enables to form a coating film of an improved appearance at a high workability almost free from 'sagging' and 'unevenness' is provided.
