Patent ID: 6908644

Claim:
A dual-curable clearcoat composition comprising: a photocurable composition comprising: a polymer-forming component selected from the group consisting of photocurable oligomers, photocurable monomers, and mixtures thereof; a first photoinitiator that absorbs light in a first spectral region; and a second photoinitiator that absorbs light in a second spectral region; and a thermally curable clearcoat composition that is curable by heat into a clear coating; wherein the dual-curable clearcoat composition is curable into a clearcoat on a substrate by: applying the dual-curable composition to the substrate an uncured coated substrate; illuminating the uncured coated substrate with light to form a photo cured coated substrate; and heating the photo cured substrate to form the clearcoat on the substrate, wherein the photocurable composition is from about 1% to about 30% of the combined weight of the photocurable composition and the thermally curable clearcoat composition.
