Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A process for applying a composite coating to a substrate comprising: (1) applying to the surface of the substrate an aqueous-based film-forming composition containing color pigments and a water-dilutable polyurethane binder, (2) forming a basecoat on the surface of the substrate from the composition applied from step 1, (3) applying to said basecoat a film-forming composition, (4) forming a transparent topcoat from the composition applied in step 3 over the basecoat.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A process for applying a composite coating to a substrate comprising: (1) applying to the surface of the substrate an aqueous-based film-forming composition containing color pigments and a water-dilutable polyurethane binder, (2) forming a basecoat on the surface of the substrate from the composition applied from step 1, (3) applying to said basecoat a film-forming composition, (4) forming a transparent topcoat from the composition applied in step 3 over the basecoat.
