Abstract:
A method for refinishing a damaged area of a substrate, such as an existing finish on a vehicle which includes the steps of preparing a damaged area for refinishing, by cleaning and/or sanding, providing a multi-component coating composition which includes at least two components having functional groups reactive with each other in a crosslinking reaction and spreading the coating composition onto the area to be refinished using a squeegee applicator.
Abstract:
A multi-layer coating system comprising a hydroxyl-functional polyurethane dispersion is provided. The hydroxyl-functional polyurethane comprises the reaction product of a pre-polymer intermediate formed from the reaction of an isocyanate with an active hydrogen containing compound, such as a polyester polyol, with a compound having at least two amine groups and one hydroxyl group, such as a diamino alcohol. In addition, a waterborne basecoat composition is provided having improved rheology and pattern control. Such a waterborne basecoat composition comprises a hydroxyl-functional polyurethane dispersion an acrylic emulsion resin, a water-reducible polyester resin, and a cellulose ester.
