Abstract: A system for applying coatings and more specifically paint coatings is provided that combines fluid stored in separate reservoir containers prior to expelling the mixture for application. The reservoirs may be comprised of collapsible and disposable bags that eject its fluid upon activation of an actuator or expanding bladder. The fluid components are combined and blended together in a mixer that is positioned between the reservoirs and a nozzle.

Abstract: Methods and associated compositions are described for applying onto a substrate a cured coating that includes at least one layer of a water-borne basecoat and one layer of clearcoat and that requires a maximum total curing time of less than about 45 minutes. Further described are methods and associated compositions for applying onto a substrate a cured coating that includes at least one layer of primer, at least one layer of a water-borne basecoat and at least one layer of clearcoat and that requires a maximum total curing time of less than about 65 minutes.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for coating a substrate with at least a basecoat layer and clearcoat layer allow quick repairs to damaged vehicle panels under ambient temperatures and without requirement of actinic or thermal radiation to cure the layers. At least one basecoat and one clearcoat layer may be applied to a substrate and the clearcoat layer may be buffed with less than 30 minutes allocated to curing the basecoat and clearcoat layers, under ambient conditions, prior to buffing. Methods and compositions are also taught for coating a substrate with at least a primer layer, a basecoat layer, and a clearcoat layer, in which the clearcoat layer may be buffed with less than about 45 minutes allocated to curing the primer, basecoat and clearcoat layers, under ambient conditions, prior to buffing.
