Abstract: The present invention provides smooth and even ultraviolet (UV) cured powder coatings for wood comprising one, two or three layers of one or more waterborne stains, or clear or tinted waterborne basecoat coatings and one or more topcoat layers of clear or tinted clear powder coatings made from one or more than one free radical UV curing resin, one or more than one photoinitiator, and one or more than one post-blend dry flow additive, such as fumed alumina. The coatings of the present invention have a natural wood appearance, are foam free and fully coat substrates at powder coating thicknesses ranging from 0.5 mil (12.7 ?m) to 2.0 mil (50.8 ?m). Accordingly, the coatings will fully and evenly coat uneven, beveled and/or routered substrate surfaces, including open grain natural wood substrates, such as oak.

Abstract: The present invention provides powder coating finishes comprising inter-mixed basecoat and color layers of coating powders, wherein the basecoat layer has a first color and one or more color layers has one or more accent color different from the first color. In the finishes, each of the first color and the one or more accent color is visible in the said finish to provide three-dimensional appearing antique look, swirl look and marbleized patterns. One or more of the coating powders used to form the finish may comprise a texture forming coating powder. Further, weatherable powder coating finishes comprise one or more protective powder coating layer between the substrate and basecoat color layer.
