A vehicle bond filler formulation is provided that includes a part A having curable resin and a monomer reactive diluent. A part B storage-separate, cure initiator package contains a free-radical cure initiator. At least one color changing dye adapted to change color upon mixing the part A and the part B and within ±5 minutes of cure of the curable resin to a sandable condition is present in either the part A or a separate part C, a guide coat colorant, or a combination thereof. A process of for repairing a vehicle body is also provided that includes mixing a part A containing the at least one color changing dye with the part B to form an internal guide coat mixture applied to a substrate of the vehicle body in need of repair. The mixture cures causing the color changing dye to the terminal change color within ±5 minutes of cure of the curable resin to a sandable condition.

Provided is an aqueous resin composition containing an alkyd resin (A) having vinyl polymer segments, a basic compound (B), and an aqueous medium (C). The alkyd resin (A) contains 20 to 45% by mass of an alicyclic polybasic acid-derived structure. The aqueous resin composition can produce a coating film with high hardness and excellent impact resistance and therefore can be suitably used for aqueous paints for metal products such as automobiles, railroad vehicles, machinery, furniture, cans, and building materials; plastic products such as automobile parts and home appliances; wood products such as furniture and building materials; and inorganic material products such as building materials and glass.

A composition for use as a drier in auto-oxidizable coatings or as an accelerator in unsaturated polyester resins comprises a manganese-bearing polymer having a manganese dicarboxylate repeating unit and at least one nitrogen-containing donor ligand. Such compositions offer excellent drying performances. They ensure a strongly reduced leachability of manganese compared to that of known manganese-bearing driers.
