The present invention is directed toward a process for making water soluble polyimide resin systems. The process comprises preparing a solution of a polyamic acid in an organic solvent, adding water to the solution to cause the polyamic acid to precipitate, filtering the precipitated acid, washing the precipitated acid with water to remove the organic solvent and then reacting the washed acid with a water soluble amine forming the water soluble amine salt of the polyamic acid. This polyamic acid salt may then be converted to the polyimide by heating. These water soluble polyamide systems allow for safer application of polyimide coatings to substrates.
