Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of coating a non-conductive substrate, said method comprising the steps of: a) applying a coating composition to the substrate, wherein the coating composition comprises: i) at least one unsaturated compound, ii) a thermal initiator comprising an organic peroxide, iii) a photoinitiator, and iv) at least one pigment, wherein the coating composition is free of accelerator, is capable of decreasing the activation energy of the thermal initiator, and is free of Co compounds, b) exposing the coating composition to UV light effective to start polymerization of the unsaturated compound, and c) exposing the coating composition to microwave heating effective to decompose the thermal initiator, wherein step c) is performed either simultaneously with step b) or sequentially after step b).
