The instant invention relates to primary coating compositions that comprises a cationic polysaccharide, to be applied on a hydrophobic surface before a subsequent application of a polar or water based coating composition, such a as a paint or an adhesive.

The invention relates to a dimensionally stable preparation which can be abraded on flat materials, containing a translucent water-based polymer-containing carrier composition and platelet-shaped solid particles. The platelet-shaped solid particles have an average maximum diameter ranging from 2 to 40 m and are contained in the preparation in a proportion by volume specified by the selected particle size in order to achieve a sheen which is clearly perceptible to the human eye while simultaneously having good abrasion properties. In a sub-aspect of the invention, the preparations according to the invention further have adhesive properties such that the abraded film is best suited for securing flat decorative elements or generally for adhering flat porous materials.
