METHOD FOR REPAIRING SURFACE COATING DEFECTS

摘要

This invention is directed to a method for repairing at least one coating defect disposed on a substrate coated with a surface coating that exhibits a visual effect generated by the presence of one or more visual effect pigments in said coating, said method comprising the steps of: a) applying a first coating composition to form a first layer covering an affected area over the coating defect, wherein the first coating composition comprises one or more visual effect control agents; b) partial drying the first layer; c) applying a second coating composition over the partially dried first layer to form a second layer covering a repair area in that the repair area covers the coating defect and is nested within the affected area, wherein the second coating composition comprises one or more visual effect control agents and one or more matching pigments for matching said visual effect of the surface coating; and d) curing said first and said second layers to form a repaired coating on said surface coating on said substrate.
