Abstract

Method for producing a multicoat coating comprises: applying a primer-surfacer coat (I) to an optionally pretreated substrate, curing coat (I), applying a basecoat (II) to coat (I), optionally curing the basecoat (II), applying a clearcoat (III) to basecoat (II), and curing basecoat (II) and/or clearcoat (III), wherein coat (I) is obtained by applying a nonaqueous, solventborne coating material comprising by weight: at least 20% of at least one organic solvent, at least 8% of at least one first polyester (A1), having a glass transition temperature of at least 20° C. and an acid number of 0 to 40 mg KOH/g; at least 8% by weight of at least one second polyester (A2), different from (A1) and having a glass transition temperature of not more than 10° C.; at least one crosslinker (B); and at least 8% of one or more fillers and/or pigments (C).

First claim

(iii) applying a basecoat (II) to the cured primer-surfacer coat (I),
(iv) optionally curing the basecoat (II),
(v) applying a clearcoat (III) to the cured or uncured basecoat (II), and
(vi) curing the clearcoat (III) or the basecoat and the clearcoat if the basecoat was not cured in step (iv),
wherein the primer-surfacer coat (I) is obtained by applying a nonaqueous, solventborne coating material (F) comprising:
at least 20% by weight, based on the total coating material (F), of at least one organic solvent, and also
(A1) from 9% to below 30% by weight, based on the total coating material (F), of at least one first polyester (A1), having a glass transition temperature of at least 20° C. and an acid number of 0 to 40 mg KOH/g,
(A2) from 9% to below 30% by weight, based on the total coating material (F), of at least one second polyester (A2), different from (A1) and having a glass transition temperature of not more than 10° C. and an acid number of 5 to 50 mg KOH/g,

(B) at least one crosslinker (B), and
(C) at least 8% by weight, based on the total coating material (F), of one or more fillers and/or pigments (C);
wherein the nonaqueous, solventborne coating material (F) is storage-stable wherein on storage at 40° C. for four weeks, viscosity of (F) measured at 23° C. is not more than twice the viscosity of (F) immediately after preparation;

wherein the coating material (F) has a weight ratio of polyester (A1) to polyester (A2) of 0.7 to 1.2; and
wherein the coating material (F) further comprises an epoxy resin and wherein (A1) is obtained from the reaction of: neopentyl glycol ester of hydroxypivaloyl acid, neopentyl glycol, isophthalic acid or anhydride, and tetrahydrophthalic acid or anhydride, and subsequent reaction with: trimellitic acid or anhydride, and phthalic acid or anhydride; and (A2) is obtained from the reaction of: ethoxylated bisphenol A derivative, neopentyl glycol, and trimethylolpropane with: adipic acid, and trimellitic acid or anhydride.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the optionally pretreated substrate is a metallic substrate.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the optionally pretreated substrate is an automobile body or a part thereof.

4. A multicoat coating obtainable by the method according to claim 1 .

5. The multicoat coating according to claim 4 , wherein the glass transition temperature of the coating material (F) is at least 35° C.
