A preheating step for forming the base coating film 12 and the second base coating film 13 may be further performed.

Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.
1-1. Electrodeposition coating formation process This process aims to form an electrodeposition coating (not shown) by coating a thermosetting electrodeposition coating on an object to be coated.

  In this specification, “electrodeposition paint” is applied to the surface of the object to be coated as described above to prevent rust and corrosion of the object to be coated and to enhance the impact resistance of the surface of the object to be coated. It means the paint used for. The electrodeposition paint used in this step is preferably a thermosetting aqueous paint commonly used in the art, and either a cationic electrodeposition paint or an anionic electrodeposition paint can be used. Such an electrodeposition paint is preferably an aqueous paint containing at least a base resin and a curing agent and an aqueous medium composed of water and / or a hydrophilic organic solvent. From the viewpoint of rust resistance, it is preferable to use an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin or a polyester resin as the base resin, and a blocked polyisocyanate compound or an amino resin as the curing agent. Here, methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, or the like can be used as the hydrophilic organic solvent. By applying the electrodeposition paint having the above-mentioned preferred configuration, an electrodeposition coating film having high rust resistance and impact resistance can be obtained.

  In the present specification, the “electrodeposition coating film” means a coating film formed by coating the above-mentioned electrodeposition coating material on an object to be coated.

  In this step, an electrodeposition coating method commonly used in the art can be adopted as means for coating the electrodeposition paint on the object to be coated. By the above-described coating method, it becomes possible to form a highly rust-resistant coating film over the entire surface of the object that has been subjected to a molding process in advance.

  The electrodeposition coating film formed in this step prevents the generation of a mixed layer with the subsequently formed intermediate coating film 11 and improves the coating appearance of the resulting glittering multilayer coating film 1. For this reason, it is preferable that after applying a thermosetting electrodeposition coating, the uncured coating film is baked and cured by heating. In this specification, “baking treatment” refers to heating a coated product with a thermosetting coating on its surface under high-temperature conditions to volatilize an aqueous medium contained in the coating, and a base resin. And a treatment for polymerizing the curing agent to form a cured dry coating film. In order to polymerize the base resin and the curing agent, it is necessary to perform a baking treatment at a temperature exceeding the curing temperature necessary for the polymerization. However, in general, when the baking treatment is performed at a temperature exceeding 180 ° C., the coating film becomes too hard and brittle, and when the baking treatment is performed at a temperature of less than 110 ° C., polymerization of the above components becomes insufficient. It is not preferable. Therefore, the baking treatment performed in the present embodiment is preferably a temperature 10 to 50 ° C. higher than the curing temperature of the base resin and the curing agent contained in the thermosetting paint used. . In this step, the baking temperature of the uncured electrodeposition coating film is preferably 110 to 180 ° C. Moreover, it is preferable that the time of a baking process is 10 to 60 minutes.

  As a method for applying the intermediate coating, a normal coating method commonly used in the art can be adopted. Examples of such a coating method include a coating method using a brush or a coating machine. A coating method using a coating machine is preferred. The coating machine is preferably an airless spray coating machine, an air spray coating machine, or a rotary atomizing electrostatic coating machine such as a paint cassette type. Particularly preferred is a rotary atomizing electrostatic coating machine. By using the above-mentioned paint and coating method, it is possible to obtain a good coating appearance without causing undesirable problems such as color unevenness and sagging.

  The intermediate coating film 11 formed in this step may be in an uncured state and containing an aqueous medium, and is baked as described above in advance before the first base coating film forming step to be subsequently performed. By carrying out the treatment, the coating film may be cured and a dry state in which the aqueous medium contained in the paint is volatilized may be used. In order to prevent the occurrence of a mixed layer with the first base coating film 12 formed by the first base coating film forming step and to improve the orientation of the glitter pigment 15 contained in the first base coating film 12, It is preferable that the intermediate coating film 11 is in a dry state cured by baking treatment. In such a case, the baking temperature of the uncured intermediate coating film 11 is preferably 110 to 180 ° C. Moreover, it is preferable that the time of a baking process is 10 to 60 minutes.

1-3. First base coating film forming step In this step, an uncured first base coating film 12 is formed by applying a thermosetting first water-based base paint containing the glitter pigment 15 on the intermediate coating film. The purpose is to let you.

  In the present specification, the “first aqueous base paint” is an aqueous paint containing the luster pigment 15 and imparts metallic luster, metallic design and / or flip-flop properties, and serves as a base for the electric paint. It means a paint used for concealing the coating film and the intermediate coating film 11. The thermosetting first water-based paint used in this step is a thermosetting water-based paint commonly used in the industry, comprising a base resin and a curing agent, water and / or a hydrophilic organic solvent. It is preferable that the aqueous paint contains at least an aqueous medium. Here, as the base resin and the curing agent, a known compound commonly used in the art may be used. As the base resin, for example, an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, a polyurethane resin, or the like is used as the curing agent. For example, an amino resin, a polyisocyanate compound, a blocked polyisocyanate compound, or the like can be used. As the aqueous medium, a medium composed of water and / or at least one hydrophilic organic solvent may be used. Examples of the hydrophilic organic solvent include methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, and the like. Can be used.

  The paint solid content concentration contained in the thermosetting first water-based base paint is represented by the ratio of the weight of the paint solid content to the total weight of the first water-based base paint. In the present specification, the “paint solid content” means non-volatile components such as a base resin and a curing agent that are contained in the paint and remain after being dried at 110 ° C. for 1 hour. Therefore, the solid concentration of the paint contained in the thermosetting first water-based base paint was measured over the bottom of the container by weighing the uncured first water-based base paint into a heat-resistant container such as an aluminum foil cup. Then, drying at 110 ° C. for 1 hour, weighing the mass of the paint component remaining after drying, and calculating the ratio of the mass of the paint component remaining after drying to the total mass of the paint before drying can be calculated. it can.

  The conventional multi-layer coating method, in which the thermosetting first base paint, second base paint, and clear paint are sequentially applied in an uncured state (wet-on-wet paint), increases the viscosity after painting. In order to prevent sagging and improve the orientation of the glitter pigment 15, the solid content concentration of the thermosetting first water-based base paint is preferably in a range higher than approximately 15% by mass. I came. On the other hand, in the method of forming the glittering multilayer coating film 1 of the present invention, a multilayer coating film with higher saturation can be obtained by using the thermosetting first aqueous base coating material having a low coating solid content concentration. Obtainable. When the solid content of the paint in the thermosetting first aqueous base paint is low, the content of the aqueous medium is high, so that the uncured coating is accompanied by the volatilization of the aqueous medium in the preheating process or baking process described below. The film 12 contracts significantly in the film thickness direction. As a result, the film thickness of the hardened and dried coating film (first base coating film 12) formed in the baking process becomes thin. When the uncured coating film (first base coating film 12) contracts in the film thickness direction, the uncured coating film (first base coating film 12) moves in the film thickness direction, that is, in the lower coating film surface direction. The force to orient the paint components such as the glittering pigment 15 contained acts. Thus, the shrinkage force generated by the shrinkage of the uncured coating film accompanying the volatilization of the aqueous medium becomes the driving force for the orientation acting on the glitter pigment 15 contained in the uncured first base coating film 12. . When the solid content concentration of the thermosetting first aqueous base paint exceeds 15% by mass, the shrinkage force is reduced and the orientation of the glitter pigment 15 is lowered.
