Abstract: The present invention is directed to a coated substrate comprising: (a) a surface that has been impacted with an abrasive particle and a dopant such that at least some portion of the surface becomes attached with the dopant; and (b) a film-forming layer on at least a portion of the impacted surface, wherein the film-forming layer has been deposited from a film-forming composition; wherein the surface is impacted substantially simultaneously with the abrasive particle and the dopant; and wherein when the dopant comprises iron phosphate, zinc phosphate, manganese phosphate, cerium oxide, the film-forming composition is not a two-component epoxy clear coat.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a particle having a chemical conversion coating on at least a portion of the particle surface. The present invention is further directed to a coated substrate comprising: (a) a surface that has been contacted with a particle having a chemical conversion coating on at least a portion of the particle surface such that at least some portion of the substrate becomes treated with the conversion coating.

Abstract: A method of applying a coating to a surface of a substrate includes: (1) applying a coating composition to at least a portion of a metal surface of a substrate; and (2) curing the coating composition to form a coating over at least a portion of the surface of the substrate. The coating composition includes: (i) a film forming resin; and (ii) a corrosion inhibitor that formed from (a) an inorganic alkali and/or alkaline earth metal compound and (b) an aldehyde and/or ketone component having at least one aromatic ring comprising a ketone and/or aldehyde group and at least one pendant group represented by —OR1. Each R1 is independently selected from hydrogen, an alkyl group, or an aryl group.
