Abstract:
1. A method of coating a substrate comprising: (a) optionally, applying a pretreatment composition to the substrate; (b) optionally, applying a conductive, weldable coating composition to the substrate; (c) optionally, coalescing the conductive, weldable coating composition to form a substantially continuous conductive coating; (d) applying a rinse composition to the substrate, said rinse composition comprising one or more surface energy modifying compounds; (e) applying a powder coating composition to the substrate of step (d); (f) heating the powder coating composition to a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to melt the powder coating composition to form a substantially continuous powder coating on the substrate, but not to crosslink the powder coating composition; (g) optionally, applying a clear coating composition over at least a portion of the powder coating; and (h) heating the substrate to a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to coalesce and crosslink the coating composition applied in step (e) and, optionally, step (g).
