Provided is an aqueous liquid composition including a water-based medium containing water, a polymer having at least one type of groups selected from hydroxyl groups and amino groups, and phosphonobutanetricarboxylic acid. The polymer is at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of a polysaccharide, polyamino acid, polyvinyl alcohol, polyallylamine, polyvinylamine, a polyamidine, a polyethylenimine, and their derivatives.

The invention relates to a method for coating surfaces, to a corresponding coating, and to the use of the objects coated in accordance with said method. In accordance with the invention the object is achieved by a method for coating metallic surfaces of substrates that comprises or consists of the following steps: I) providing a substrate having a cleaned metallic surface, II) contacting and coating metallic surfaces with an aqueous composition in dispersion and/or suspension form, III) optionally rinsing the organic coating, and IV) drying and/or baking the organic coating or V) optionally drying the organic coating and coating it with a similar or further coating composition prior to drying and/or baking, characterized in that the coating in step II is carried out with an aqueous composition in dispersion and/or suspension form that comprises a complex fluoride, and at least one anionic polyelectrolyte is added to a nonionically or anionically/nonionically stabilized dispersion of film-forming polymers and/or to a suspension of film-forming inorganic particles and a coating forms that is based on an ionogenic gel comprising cations dissolved out of the metallic surface.
