Abstract: The present invention provides a method for film formation, which comprises applying onto a substrate an electrocoating (A) and an intermediate coating (B) in this order, heat-curing the formed films of the coatings (A) and (B), applying thereon a liquid light color coating (C), the liquid light color coating (C) forming a color film having an L value of 30-95 in the Lab color system, which comprises 100 parts by weight of a thermosetting resin composition, 0.1-30 parts by weight of a fine aluminum powder having an average particle diameter of less than 10.mu. and 1-200 parts by weight of a titanium oxide pigment and which shows a film hiding power of 25.mu. or less and a film elongation ratio of 10-50% at 20.degree. C., a liquid metallic coating (D) which comprises 100 parts by weight of a thermosetting resin composition and 0.1-20 parts by weight of a metallic pigment having an average particle diameter of 3.mu. or more and which shows a film hiding power of 50.mu.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for film formation, which comprises applying onto a substrate an electrocoating (A) and an intermediate coating (B) in this order, heat-curing the formed films of the coatings (A) and (B), applying thereon a liquid deep color coating (C) which comprises 100 parts by weight of a thermosetting resin composition, 0.1-30 parts by weight of an aluminum powder having an average particle diameter of 10.mu. or less, 1-100 parts by weight of a titanium oxide pigment and 0.1-10 parts by weight of a carbon black pigment and which shows a film hiding power of 25.mu. or less and a film elongation ratio of 10-50% at 20.degree. C., a liquid color clear coating (D) which comprises a thermosetting resin composition and a color pigment as the main components and which shows a film hiding power of 50.mu. or more and a film elongation ratio of 10% or less at 20.degree.

Abstract: A cationically electrodepositable finely divided gelled polymer obtained by dispersing an acrylic copolymer containing a hydrolyzable alkoxysilane group and a cationic group in water and crosslinking the dispersed copolymer particles thereinside. A cationically electrodepositable coating composition containing the aforesaid polymer can form a thick coated film having excellent smoothness on an edge portion of a corner or a projected portion to improve the anticorrosion of the edge portion.

Abstract: An air-drying non-water-dispersible resin composition obtained by dispersion-polymerization of at least one vinyllic unsaturated monomer (C) in the presence of a vinyllic graft alkyd resin (I) as a dispersion stabilizer in an organic solvent in which at least a part of the vinyllic graft alkyd resin (I) is soluble, the vinyllic unsaturated monomer (C) is substantially soluble but the resulting polymer gells are substantially insoluble, wherein the vinyllic graft alkyd resin (I) is obtained by graft copolymerizing 10 to 70% by weight of a modified alkyd resin (A) having an oil length in the range of 30 to 80% obtained by modification with at least one material selected from drying oils, semi-drying oils, drying oil fatty acids and semi-drying oil fatty acids with 90 to 30% by weight of at least one vinyllic monomer (B) at least 30% of the vinyl monomer (B) being composed of a vinyllic unsaturated monomer (B-1) having an SP value of not greater than 8.25 and a glass transition temperature of at least 20.degree.
