Patent ID: 7682663

Claim:
A method of providing a coating to a surface of a substrate, said method comprising the steps: (a) providing a surface of said substrate with a layer of a coating precursor, said coating precursor comprising a curable material and at least one first compound comprising a stabilized curing agent that is adapted to react with a gaseous, vaporous or aerosol second compound initiating agent so as to cause said curable material to undergo a curing reaction, wherein said coating precursor comprises an acrylic resin or a resin that contains double C—C bonds capable of polymerization, and said at least one first compound comprises a stabilized curing agent selected from the group consisting of complexes of alkyl boranes with amines and amidines with N:B ratio from 1:1 to 10:1; (b) subjecting said coating precursor to said gaseous, vaporous or aerosol second compound initiating agent for sufficient time to initiate said curing reaction, and allowing said coating precursor to form a cured coating on said substrate.
