Claims 2 to 9 described in the scope of claims
The relationship between the above and the coating conditions for each paint is shown in the table below.

Table 1

In Table 1, ∘ indicates baking, and x indicates setting or preliminary drying. The meaning of the baking is
The thermosetting type means baking at a curing temperature, and the meaning of setting or pre-drying means that the thermosetting type is dried under the condition that it is not substantially cured. When an active energy ray-curable type is used as the top coat, it is interpreted by replacing the baking with the irradiation with active energy rays. The meaning of 4C4B expressed by the coating method means that the total number of coatings is 4 and the total baking is 4 as shown in the table.

The aluminum material used in the present invention can be used without particular limitation as long as it has been conventionally considered for automobile bodies. Specifically, JIS A500 containing magnesium as an aluminum alloy base material.

It is preferable to use one having a thickness of less than μm. Ra is 0.
If it exceeds 2 μm, the smoothness of the electrodeposition coating film applied to the aluminum material is lowered, and as a result, the smoothness of the overcoat coating film (such as a feeling of dustiness) is lowered, resulting in poor gloss of the coating film. There is. On the other hand, if Ra is too small, the adhesion between the cationic electrodeposition coating film and the aluminum material decreases, so it is not preferable to set it to less than 0.01 μm. The surface roughness of such an aluminum material can be adjusted by changing the roughness of the roll at the time of rolling, or by a surface treatment technique such as mechanical polishing, chemical polishing, and electrolytic polishing. As the above-mentioned polishing, electropolishing is particularly preferable because it can facilitate polishing with fine roughness.

When the surface temperature is 10 ° C. to 80 ° C., 1 minute to 60 minutes, preferably 2 minutes to 30 minutes is considered to be sufficient.

It can be heated and cured for 50 minutes.

The electrodeposition coating film is coated with an aqueous chipping primer in order to improve smoothness, sharpness, interlayer adhesion, chipping resistance and the like.

Although the term "water-based chipping primer" is not commonly used, in the present invention, a water-based paint having the above-mentioned characteristic values and capable of forming a coating film which achieves the object of the present invention is "water-based." The term "chipping primer".

The feature of the water-based chipping primer is that, in the process of sequentially coating the steel material with the electrodeposition coating material, the intermediate coating material and the top coating material, after the electrodeposition coating material is applied, the water-based chipping primer is electrically charged before the intermediate coating material is applied.

Is an intermediate coating film which is more flexible than an intermediate coating film for the purpose of improving the chipping resistance, and is formed through an aqueous chipping primer coating film having such physical properties. Even if a strong impact force due to the collision of rock salt or pebbles is applied to, most or all of the impact energy is absorbed in the aqueous chipping primer coating film and does not spread to the electrodeposition coating film below it, and It has been found that both the top coat and the intermediate coat are rarely subject to physical damage. That is, the above-mentioned water-based chipping primer coating layer exerts a buffering effect on the impact force from the outside to remarkably improve the chipping resistance, and it is possible to prevent the rusting and corrosion of the steel material due to chipping, and to prevent rock salt and pebbles. The deterioration of the top coating film due to such collisions could be eliminated.

The aqueous chipping primer contains an aqueous vehicle and water as main components, and may further contain a viscosity-imparting agent, an organic solvent, a coloring pigment, an extender pigment, an anticorrosion pigment and the like, if necessary.

Was found. That is, the above-mentioned water-based chipping primer coating layer exerts a buffering effect on the impact force from the outside to remarkably improve the chipping resistance, and it is possible to prevent the rusting and corrosion of the steel material due to chipping, and to prevent rock salt and pebbles. Even if the aluminum material receives a large impact due to such a collision, the deterioration of the top coating film could be eliminated.

Further, the surface roughness Ra of the aluminum material is 0.2.
