Abstract
Abstract A coating composition is disclosed comprising an organosilane polymer, a polyester or a copolymer thereof, an amino resin crosslinking agent, and a silsesquioxane compound. Such a composition is especially useful for providing a flexible finish on non-metallic parts of automobiles and trucks. This finish has the advantage of superior etch resistance and outstanding weatherability and durability characteristics.
