Abstract: The invention provides thermosetting coating compositions in which acrylic copolymers are used as carriers for fluorocarbon resins. The compositions have a combination of high fluorocarbon content, high solids content, and a low viscosity suitable for coil coating. Thus, the solids are borne in organic solvent systems which permit minimization of the viscosity and a moderate evaporation rate. The solvent system has a &dgr;H of from 1.7 to 2.6 (calories/cubic centimeter)½ and a &dgr;V of from 8 to 9.5 (calories/cubic centimeter)½ and is exemplified by a mixture of 4 or more of the following solvents: aliphatic ketones having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, alkyl esters having a total of from 5 to 7 carbon atoms, aromatic acid esters having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, lactones, and aromatic solvents.
