Container coating compositions

A coated article comprising:

• (a) a metal container for food or beverages,
• (b) a cured coating applied to the interior surface of the container, the cured coating being derived from a liquid coating composition comprising:
• (A) 70 to 90 percent by weight of a hydroxyl functional polyester resin prepared from:
• (i) 1 to 8 mole percent of an alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid containing from 4 to 5 carbon atoms,
• (ii) 10 to 30 mole percent of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid including alkyl esters having 1-4 carbon atoms thereof,
• (iii) 10 to 30 mole percent of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid different from (ii),
• (iv) 40 to 60 mole percent of an aliphatic diol containing branched alkyl groups and being free of neopentyl glycol, and
• (v) 0.2 to 4 mole percent of a triol,
• the mole percentages being based on total moles of (i)-(v);
• (B) 5 to 25 percent by weight of an aminoplast curing agent,
• (C) 0.1 to 20 percent by weight of a phosphatized polyester,
• (A), (B) and (C) being dissolved in organic solvent;
• the percentages by weight of (A), (B) and (C) being based on weight of resin solids in the coating composition, wherein the hydroxyl functional polyester resin has a number average molecular weight of 9,000 to 16,000 g/mole.
