Abstract: A coating composition primarily used as a clear coat of a clearcoat/color coat automotive finish; the composition has a film forming binder solids content of about 30-70% by weight contains about(A) 50-80% by weight, based on the weight of the binder, of a hydroxy functional acrylic polymer of polymerized monomers of styrene, alkyl methacrylate monomers and hydroxy alkyl methacrylate or acrylate each having 1-4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, an ethylenic unsaturated carboxylic acid at least partically reacted with a glycidyl ester of a carboxylic acid and the polymer has a number average molecular weight of about 1,000-12,000 and(B) 1-20% by weight, based on the weight of the binder, of a polyol component and(C) 10-49% by weight, based on the weight of the binder, of an organic polyisocyanate.
