Abstract:
1. A top coat for an outer panel of an automotive vehicle, comprising: a clear paint including first acrylic resin (A), second acrylic resin (B) and acid cross-linking agent (C), the first acrylic resin (A) having at least one group, represented by Equation (1), and at least two epoxy groups in a molecule, the first acrylic resin being in an amount ranging from 1 to 20 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of total of the first acrylic resin (A), the second acrylic resin (B) and the acid cross-linking agent (C), where R is an organic group having a carbon number ranging from 1 to 6; x is a number ranging from 0 to 2; y is a number ranging from 0 to 2; and Z is CH 3 or O—Si—(CH 3 ) 3 , wherein the group represented by equation (1) in the first acrylic resin (A) has a molecular weight ranging from 300 to 1000, the second acrylic resin (B) having at least two epoxy groups in a molecule, the second acrylic resin being in an amount ranging from 20 to 60 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of the first acrylic resin (A), the second acrylic resin (B) and the acid cross-linking agent (C), the acid cross-linking agent (C) having at least two chemically blocked carboxyl groups in a molecule, the acid cross-linking agent being in an amount ranging from 20 to 60 parts by weight relative to the total of the first acrylic resin (A), the second acrylic resin (B) and the acid cross-linking agent (C), the clear paint forming a coat film having a glass transition temperature ranging from 90 to 120° C. upon being hardened; and a base coat paint including third acrylic resin (D), fourth acrylic resin (E) and melamine resin (F), the third acrylic resin (D) having at least two hydroxyl groups in a molecule, the third acrylic resin being in an amount ranging from 15 to 55 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of total of the third acrylic resin (D), the fourth acrylic resin (E) and the melamine resin (F), the fourth acrylic resin (E) having at least two hydroxyl groups and at least two epoxy groups in a molecule, the fourth acrylic resin (E) being in an amount ranging from 15 to 55 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of the third acrylic resin (D), the fourth acrylic resin (E) and the melamine resin (F), the melamine resin (F) having a functional group capable of reacting with a hydroxyl group, the melamine resin being in an amount ranging from 30 to 40 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of the third acrylic resin (D), the fourth acrylic resin (E) and the melamine resin (F).
