Abstract: The invention provides a powder metallic coating material containing a flake pigment, which comprises base particles having flaky shape and a film containing a charge control agent on surfaces of the base particles, and a resin powder. It is preferable that relation between a charge value of the flake pigment and a charge value of the resin powder is defined by the following expressions (1) and (2): |CR?CA|?10 ??(1) 10?|CA|?40 ??(2) In the expressions (1) and (2), CA denotes the charge value (?C/g) of the flake pigment and CR denotes the charge value (?C/g) of the resin powder.

Abstract: An object is to provide a powder coating composition having excellent recyclability, offering superior safety, and containing a flake pigment providing metallic feel, brilliance and brightness to a coating film, as well as a coating film obtained from the former. A powder coating composition containing thermosetting resin powder having a surface adhered to a flake pigment composed of aluminum flake having an average particle size of 1 to 100 &mgr;m using an adhesive binder composed of a resin dissolved in a solvent which does not dissolve a thermosetting resin, as well as a coating obtained from the former are provided.
