Abstract: Process for producing a color and/or effect coating system on a primed or unprimed substrate by applying an aqueous color and/or effect solid-color topcoat material or—alternatively—an aqueous color and/or effect basecoat material and a clearcoat material (wet-on-wet technique) to the substrate and curing the resultant coating films, which comprises (a) using an aqueous color and/or effect solid-color topcoat material or aqueous color and/or effect basecoat material which contains no metal flake pigments and which after curing gives a color and/or effect solid-color topcoat or aqueous basecoat having a water vapor permeability &dgr;60° C.>6.0 mg/h m bar or &dgr;60° C.>286.

Abstract: The invention relates to heat-hardenable paint composition which contains (A) vinyl based copolymer of hydroxyl group value from 20 to 200 mg KOH/g, being a copolymer of from 5 to 70 wt % hydroxyl group containing a particularly defined vinyl based monomer and from 95 to 30 wt % other vinyl based monomer (a-2), and (B), a particularly defined 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triscarbamic acid ester, or an oligomer thereof, in which the mol ratio of hydroxyl groups originating from the aforementioned (A) component: NHCOOR groups originating from the aforementioned (B) component in the composition is from 1:3 to 3:1.
