Abstract: A coating resin composition composed mainly of an epoxy resin derivative obtained by reacting an amine compound containing hydroxyl groups, one secondary amino group and an amide group in the molecule with an epoxy group of an epoxy resin. The resin composition can be used alone, or in combination with an epoxy resin containing, per molecule, on the average at least 2 epoxy functional groups each comprising an epoxy groups directly bound to an alicyclic ring and/or bridged alicyclic ring. The resin is useful in a cationically electrodepositable paint.
