Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A coating composition comprising a mixture of vehicle, solvent and a pigment, which vehicle is a modified acrylic copolymer having a weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight ratio within the range of from 3 to 20, said copolymer being obtained by the polymerization of 1 to 40% by weight of a polyester containing an unsaturated double bond, 0.05 to 10% by weight of a dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate, 10 to 83.95% by weight of methyl methacrylate and 15 to 78.95% by weight of another polymerizable monomer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
