Abstract: Disclosed are:1) a three-component resin composition comprising a hydroxyl group-containing compound (A), an epoxy group-containing compound (B) and a silane group-containing compound (C);2) a two-component resin composition comprising a hydroxyl group-containing compound (A) and silane group- and epoxy group-containing compound (D);3) a two-component resin composition comprising hydroxyl group- and silane group-containing compound (E) and epoxy group-containing compound (B); and4) two-component resin composition comprising hydroxyl group- and epoxy group-containing compound (F) and silane group-containing compound (C); wherein at least one of the components in each of the resin compositions 1) to 4) is (are) fluorine-containing resin;5) a curable composition comprising one of the resin compositions 1) to 4) and a metal chelate compound as curing catalyst; and6) coating compositions comprising such curing composition and when required a pigment.

Abstract: A coating method, which comprises(i) applying to a substrate a multilayer film-forming cationic electrodeposition paint composed of(A) a cationic electrodepositable epoxy resin having a surface tension of 40 to 60 dynes/cm and being able to form a cathodically electrodepositable aqueous bath by neutralization with an acid, and(B) a nonionic film-forming resin having a surface tension of 25 to 45 dynes/cm,the weight ratio of resin (A) to resin (B) being from 60:40 to 98:2 and the surface tension of resin (A) being greater than that of resin (B), and curing the coated film by heating,(ii) applying a water-base or organic solvent-base colored paint as a first top coat, and(iii) applying as a second top coat a powder paint capable of forming a transparent film which may be colored.
