Coating compositions for coating an oilfield operational component, and related methods, may include in some aspects a coating composition having a trifunctional silane, a silanol, and a filler. The coating composition may be applied to a surface of the oilfield operational component that is configured to be exposed to a fluid. The coating composition may be applied to at least partially cover or coat the surface. The coating composition may be configured to chemically bond with a cured primer composition that includes an epoxy.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an effect pigment dispersion that exhibits excellent water resistance, that can form metallic or pearly luster, and that further exhibits high stability; and to provide a method for forming a multilayer coating film. The present invention provides an effect pigment dispersion that contains water, a wetting agent (A), a flake-effect pigment (B), and a phosphate-group-containing cellulose-based rheology control agent (C). The effect pigment dispersion has a solids content of 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of all of the components of the effect pigment dispersion; and has a viscosity of 100 to 10000 mPa.Math.sec as measured with a Brookfield viscometer at a rotational speed of 6 revolutions per minute.

This invention provides a method for forming a multilayer coating film, comprising applying a base paint (X) having a solids content ratio of 30 to 62 mass % to a substrate to form a base coating film having a cured film thickness of 6 to 45 ?m; applying an effect pigment dispersion (Y) having a solids content ratio of 0.1 to 10 mass % to the base coating film to form an effect coating film having a cured film thickness of 0.1 to 5.0 ?m; applying a two-component clear paint (Z) containing a hydroxy-containing resin and a polyisocyanate compound to the effect coating film to form a clear coating film; and heating the base coating film, the effect coating film, and the clear coating film to simultaneously cure these coating films; wherein the base paint (X) contains a polyurethane resin (A), an alcohol (B) containing 6 to 12 carbon atoms, and an organic solvent (C) having an HLB of 7 to 9, and the effect pigment dispersion (Y) contains water, a flake-effect pigment (P), a resin emulsion (Q), and cellulose nanofibers (R).
