Also described herein is a method for producing a muilticoat paint system, where a basecoat material is applied directly to an overbaked clearcoat film.

The disclosure provides a metal protective layer, sequentially comprising an organic powder coating, a high-gloss organic coating, a ductile periodic variable alloy protective film and a transparent powder coating, wherein the base powder layer is an epoxy resin or pure polyester powder coating; the high-gloss organic coating is an epoxy resin powder coating, a polyester powder coating, or a polybutadiene organic coating; the ductile periodic variable alloy protective film is formed by direct current magnetron sputtering with two targets in a high vacuum environment, and the material of the targets is composed of a Ni—Cr alloy layer and pure Cr; and the transparent powder layer is an acrylic powder coating or a polyester transparent powder coating.

Techniques related to retroreflective surface layers for micro-mobility transit vehicles are disclosed. A retroreflective surface layer may be formed over at least a portion of a component of a micro-mobility transit vehicle by forming a powder coat layer over the portion of the component and baking the powder coat layer to cure the powder coat layer. An uncured clear coat layer may be formed over the powder coat layer. The uncured clear coat layer may be impregnated with a plurality of glass beads via an air-pressure applicator. The uncured clear coat layer impregnated with the glass beads may be baked to cure the clear coat layer. The retroreflective surface layer may include the powder coat layer, clear coat layer, and the plurality of glass beads distributed within the clear coat layer. The retroreflective surface layer may reflect incident light back to its source with minimal scattering of the light.

The present invention relates to a two-coat two-bake powder coating structure and application method thereof that mainly utilizes high concentrated migratory pigment and dye powder in the primer layer that osmotically diffuses into the finish layer of colorless powder during baking after the finish layer undergoes the electrostatic spray process. The principle is to apply a second baking process to the migratory pigment and dye powder, causing the molecular chains of the primer layer to become loose. As a result, the small molecules of the migratory pigment and dye powder can uniformly move from the primer layer into the finish layer across the interface between the primer layer and the finish layer through osmosis and diffusion. After the finish layer cools down, the migratory pigment and dye powder is solidified within the finish layer so that the chromatic aberration of the surface coating layer is improved.

The invention includes a method for preparing and top coating an item made of powder coated MDF (or other substrate containing wood) with the end result of improved visual and tactile smoothness; the invention includes the steps of cutting and machining the part, pre-powder preparation and sanding of the part, powder coating the part, post-powder preparation and sanding, and applying the liquid top coat to the part, resulting in a smoother finish than is currently available in any other powder coated MDF finish while requiring less coats than similar liquid paint finishes.

A multilayer color and/or effect coating on a substrate, wherein the coating includes a clearcoat layer having a dry film thickness of 10 μm to 50 μm, and the coating includes a basecoat layer having a dry film thickness of 6 μm to 35 μm, incorporating color and/or effect pigments whose orientation within the basecoat layer influences the optical properties of the coating, and the basecoat layer includes control particles that control the orientation of the color and/or effect pigments, wherein the control particles are characterized by a d10 of at least 50% of the dry film thickness of the basecoat layer and by a d50 of 80% to 120% of the dry film thickness of the basecoat layer, and by a d100 of not more than 200% of the dry film thickness of the basecoat layer.

A method and related apparatus for generating a surface structure includes the steps of: (A) applying a resin A on the surface of a material; (B) applying a liquid B on at least one portion of the resin A, when the resin A is liquid or partially solidified; (C) polymerizing, also separately, the resin A and the liquid B; and (D) removing the polymerized liquid B.

Base coats, methods of using base coats, and methods of producing base coats are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of producing a base coat includes forming a CPO intermediate and a color intermediate. The CPO intermediate includes a chlorinated polyolefin at from about 5 to about 20 weight percent, based on a total weight of the CPO intermediate, as well as a CPO solvent. The color intermediate includes a color imparting additive and a color solvent that is different than the CPO solvent. The CPO intermediate and the color intermediate are combined to form the base coat, where the base coat includes from about 1 to about 3 weight percent chlorinated polyolefin and from about 5 to about 30 weight percent solids, based on a total weight of the base coat.
