Abstract:
A method of coating a substrate comprising(a) applying a conductive, weldable coating composition to the substrate; (b) coalescing the conductive, weldable coating composition to form a substantially continuous conductive coating; (c) applying a powder coating composition comprising a flake pigment to the conductive coating; (d) heating the powder coating composition to a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to melt and level the powder coating composition to form a substantially continuous powder coating and sufficient to allow migration of the flake pigment to an interface between the powder coating and air, but not sufficient to cause the powder coating composition to crosslink; and (e) heating the substrate to a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to coalesce and crosslink the coating composition applied in step (c).
