  • the at least one coating additive according to the invention is here applied to the surface of the particles of the powdered coating material.
  • This provides the advantage that variations in the properties of the powdered coating material according to the invention as a result of an incomplete mixing of the constituents of the coating additive before application to the particles are prevented.

In particular embodiments, therefore, it is preferred that the coating additives are bound to the surface with at least one type of chemical bond.
