Abstract
The present invention provides a coating method which comprises applying, onto a material to be coated, a cationic electrodepositable coating composition comprising (A) a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin-amine adduct obtained by a reaction of (A-1) a polyurethane-compound having one terminal isocyanate group in the molecule, obtained by a reaction of (a) a polyhydroxy compound having a number-average molecular weight of 50-8,000, (b) a polyisocyanate compound, and (c) a compound having one active hydrogen atom in the molecule; (A-2) a bisphenol type epoxy resin having at least two epoxy groups in the molecule; and (A-3) an active-hydrogen-containing amine compound, and (B) a nonionic film-forming resin, the weight ratio of the resin (A)/the resin (B) being 15/85 to 95/5 and the coating composition comprising substantially no pigment, then heat-curing the formed electrocoating film; and thereafter applying, onto the cured electrocoating film, an aqueous coating composition comprising a metallic pigment and/or a coloring pigment and a high-solid-content coating composition comprising (C) a carboxyl group-containing compound, (D) a vinyl type polymer containing, in the molecule, an epoxy group, a hydroxyl group and a hydrolyzable alkoxysilyl group, (E) a reactive organopolysiloxane, and (F) crosslinked polymer fine particles but comprising substantially no pigment, by two-coat two-bake or by two-coat one-bake.
