Abstract: There is disclosed a resin composition for powder coatings, which comprises a blend of two acrylic resins obtained by polymerizing a prescribed amount of monomer component (a-1) represented by formula (I) and a prescribed amount of another monomer component (a-2), respectively, and having different polymerization degrees represented by viscosities at 140.degree. C. and a polybasic acid compound in 1.5 to 0.5 equivalent ratio of the glycidyl groups in said acrylic resins to the acid groups in the polybasic acid compound. ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group. The resin composition for powder coatings that can form a coating film having a mat smooth appearance and being excellent in flexibility as shown by Du Pont impact resistance and the Ericksen test as well as being excellent in nail scratch resistance.

Abstract: A composition for thermosetting powder coating, which comprises(a) an acrylic copolymer of high softening point having an epoxy equivalent of 250-1,000 g/eq and a softening point of 90.degree.-160.degree. C.,(b) an acrylic copolymer of low softening point having an epoxy equivalent of 200-600 g/eq and a softening point of 30.degree.-70.degree. C.,(c) a polycarboxylic acid, and(d) optionally, a phosphoric acid ester compound and/or a phosphorous acid ester compound,and wherein the difference in softening point between (a) and (b) is 60.degree.-120.degree. C., the weight ratio of (a)/(b) is 95/5 to 60/40, and the equivalent ratio of [the total epoxy groups of (a) and (b)] : [the acid group of (c)] is 0.5:1 to 1:0.5.Said composition has excellent storage stability and, when used as a coating for automobiles, gives a film superior in appearance, solvent resistance and acid resistance.
