Abstract: A process for preparing a multi-layer coating on an electrically nonconductive surface of a substrate, which comprises(A) applying over the surface an aqueous dispersion having a pH of from 5 to 8 when not containing a metallic pigment, the dispersion containing of from 15% to 20% wt. based on the dispersion of a base coat resin without metallic pigments then having a nonvolatile content of from about 30% to about 50% wt. based on the base coat resin of(i) from 75% to 98% wt. based on base coat resin solids of one or more partially or completely acid neutralized cationic, polyurethane, and polyurethane-urea resins, having a OH number of up to 450, and an amine number of from 20 to 200, and(ii) from 2% to 25% wt. based on base coat resin solids of one or more of an amine-formaldehyde condensation resin alone or in admixture with a blocked polyiisocyanate in either case having at least two groups per molecule being reactive with one or more of amino, OH.sup.

Abstract: Aqueous, heat-curable coating material, containing as vehicle 85 to 40 weight percent of a mixture of a fatty acid-free, acidic epoxide resin phosphate ester with an acid number of 10 to 150, prepared from an epoxide group-containing polyglycidyl ether and/or a polyglycidyl methacrylate resin with more than 1.3 epoxide groups per molecule and an epoxide equivalent weight of 180 to 5,000 and a phenolic resin-modified, carboxyl group-containing, oil-free polyester with an acid number of 15 to 175 and an OH number of 15 to 175, 0 to 25 weight percent of an epoxide resin graft copolymer with an acid number of 30 to 200, prepared from an epoxide group-free reaction product of fatty acid-free polyglycidyl ethers with more than 1.3 epoxide groups per molecule and an epoxide equivalent weight of 1,000 to 5,000 with .alpha.,.beta.
