MULTI-COMPONENT COMPOSITE COATING COMPOSITION AND COATED SUBSTRATE

摘要

A multi-component composite coating composition is provided which includes a basecoat deposited from an aqueous basecoat film-forming composition and a transparent topcoat applied over the basecoat. The basecoat film-forming composition includes at least one cross-linkable film-forming resin and at least one amphiphilic alcohol having the structural formula: HO-R, wherein R includes a linear hydrocarbon segment having at least seven contiguous carbon atoms. The amphiphilic alcohol is present in an amount ranging from about 0.01 to about 50 weight percent based upon total amount of resin solids of the basecoat film-forming composition. A coated substrate is also provided.
