Abstract
Abstract A process for forming a coating with a metallic finish, which comprises (1) A FIRST STEP OF COATING AN ARTICLE WITH [A] a water-thinnable paint comprising (a) a cross-linkable (meth)acrylate ester copolymer or a mixture of the (meth)acrylate ester copolymers containing at least 0.1 equivalent, per 1,000 g of resin solids, of a carboxyl or carboxyl ion group and a group capable of undergoing a ring-opening reaction with the carboxyl or carboxy ion group upon heating, both of said groups being contained in the same or different copolymers, and having a number average molecular weight of at least 3,000 and (b) metallic scales, and baking the coating paint to form a coating containing the metallic scales and (2) A SECOND STEP OF COATING [B] a powder paint comprising a (meth)acrylate ester copolymer having a glycidyl or beta -methylglycidyl group and a polycarboxylic acid on the scale-containing coating obtained in the first step, and baking the coated paint to form a protective coating for the scale-containing coating.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
230 words
A process for forming a coating with a metallic finish, which comprises: (1) a first step of coating an article with [A] a water-thinnable paint consisting essentially of (a) a cross-linkable resin which is a (meth)acrylate ester copolymer or a mixture of (meth)acrylate ester copolymers containing (i) at least 0.1 equivalent, per 1,000 g of resin solids, of a carboxyl or carboxyl ion group and (ii) a group capable of undergoing a ring-opening reaction with the carboxyl or carboxyl ion group upon heating, which group is glycidyl, β-methylglycidyl or oxazolinyl, both of groups (i) and (ii) being contained in the same or different copolymers, and said copolymer or copolymers having a number average molecular weight of at least 3,000, said water-thinnable paint being in the form of either an aqueous solution of salt of the resin in water, an emulsion of fine particles of the resin solids dispersed in water, or a system in which the aqueous solution and the emulsion exist together and (b) metallic scales, and baking the coated paint to form a coating containing the metallic scales, and then (2) a second step of coating [B] a powder paint comprising a (meth)acrylate ester copolymer having a glycidyl or β-methylglycidyl group and a polycarboxylic acid on the scale-containing coating obtained in the first step, and baking the coated paint to form a protective coating for the scale-containing coating.

A process for forming a coating with a metallic finish, which comprises: (1) a first step of coating an article with [A] a water-thinnable paint consisting essentially of (a) a cross-linkable resin which is a (meth)acrylate ester copolymer or a mixture of (meth)acrylate ester copolymers containing (i) at least 0.1 equivalent, per 1,000 g of resin solids, of a carboxyl or carboxyl ion group and (ii) a group capable of undergoing a ring-opening reaction with the carboxyl or carboxyl ion group upon heating, which group is glycidyl, β-methylglycidyl or oxazolinyl, both of groups (i) and (ii) being contained in the same or different copolymers, and said copolymer or copolymers having a number average molecular weight of at least 3,000, said water-thinnable paint being in the form of either an aqueous solution of salt of the resin in water, an emulsion of fine particles of the resin solids dispersed in water, or a system in which the aqueous solution and the emulsion exist together and (b) metallic scales, and baking the coated paint to form a coating containing the metallic scales, and then (2) a second step of coating [B] a powder paint comprising a (meth)acrylate ester copolymer having a glycidyl or β-methylglycidyl group and a polycarboxylic acid on the scale-containing coating obtained in the first step, and baking the coated paint to form a protective coating for the scale-containing coating.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
