Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer coating comprising at least one basecoat layer and one topcoat layer, the coating being preparable by A. applying a component (I), if desired radiation-curable component, based on polyurethane resins, polyacrylate resins, polyester resins and/or amino resins and also mixtures thereof to a substrate and subjecting it to thermal partial crosslinking or drying at temperatures of less than 100° C., preferably 60-80° C., and B. applying a topcoat to this coating layer, and subsequently carrying out radiation curing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing scratch-resistant coatings which comprises applying a coating composition which in the cured state has a storage modulus E′ in the rubber-elastic range of at least 107.6 Pa and a loss factor tan &dgr; at 20° C. of not more than 0.10, the storage modulus E′0 and the loss factor having been measured by dynamic mechanical thermoanalysis on homogeneous free films having a film thickness of 40±10 &mgr;m. The present invention additionally relates to the use of the process for producing multicoat finishes and also to coating compositions suitable for this process.
