Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a silicon oligomer having a novel function that has not been achieved by a conventional condensation product of water and a tetraalkoxysilane. Provided are a silicon oligomer represented by the following formula (I) and a production method therefor: wherein R1 to R10 each independently is an alkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group, each having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; X1 to X3 each independently is a group represented by the following formula (II); n is 0 or 1; and m is an integer of 1 to 3 when n is 0, and m is 1 when n is 1: wherein A is an alkylene group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms which may be branched, and 1 is an integer of 1 to 3.

Abstract: An object is to provide a technique capable of forming a film having a dark black appearance and high corrosion resistance on a zinc plated component in a simple process, and a black coating film-forming vehicle component and/or fastening component that is obtained by: treating a surface of a zinc plated metal substrate with a black chemical conversion treatment agent containing trivalent chromium as an active ingredient, to form a black chemical conversion treatment film having an L value (brightness) of from 33 to 30; coating a black coating composition containing a black pigment in an amount of from 25 to 65% by weight in a thermosetting film-forming component and an alkoxysilane oligomer, on the black chemical conversion treatment film; and heat-curing the black coating composition thus coated.
