Disclosed are a protective coating layer, and a preparation method and use thereof. The present application provides a protective coating layer, including: a rusty-surface liquid layer, a nano-zinc yellow epoxy primer layer, a nano-epoxy micaceous iron oxide (MIO) intermediate coating layer, and a nano-fluorocarbon top coating layer, where the rusty-surface liquid layer is applied on a metal substrate; the nano-zinc yellow epoxy primer layer is applied on a surface of the rusty-surface liquid layer; the nano-epoxy MIO intermediate coating layer is applied on a surface of the nano-zinc yellow epoxy primer layer; and the nano-fluorocarbon top coating layer is applied on a surface of the nano-epoxy MIO intermediate coating layer. The present application effectively solves the technical problem that the existing protective coating layer with nanoparticles exhibits poor adhesion to a substrate and cannot provide a protective effect for a long time.

A resin composition includes a resin A, a resin C, and a solvent. The resin A includes a sulfonic-acid-group-containing structural unit in an amount exceeding 5 mol % with respect to total structural units included in the resin A. The resin A has a content of a fluorine atom of 30 mass % or less with respect to a total mass of the resin A. The resin C includes a fluorine atom in a larger content per unit mass than the content of a fluorine atom per unit mass in the resin A. A content of the resin A in the resin composition is lower than a content of the resin C in the resin composition in terms of mass.
