Electrodepositable coating compositions and electrically conductive coatings resulting therefrom

An electrodepositable coating composition comprising:

• a film-forming binder;
• and
• electrically conductive particles;
• wherein the electrically conductive particles are present in an amount of at least 25% by weight, based on the total solids weight of the electrodepositable coating composition;
• wherein the electrically conductive particles comprise aluminum particles, and the composition has an aluminum particle to binder weight ratio of at least 3:1.

An electrodepositable coating composition comprising:

• a film-forming binder, wherein the film-forming binder comprises an anionic salt group-containing, film-forming polymer and a curing agent;
• electrically conductive particles;
• and
• an aqueous dispersion medium;
• wherein the electrically conductive particles comprise zinc particles present in an amount of at least 80% by weight, based on the total solids weight of the electrodepositable coating composition.
