Weatherable and durable coating compositions

A curable coating composition comprising:

• (1) a silicone imine resin which in the presence of sufficient amounts of water forms an amino-functional silicone resin of the fully condensed formula
• RxSiO(4-x)/2 where
• (a) x is a number from 1.0 to 2.1;
• (b) the amino-functional silicone resin is comprised of the Si units R3SiO1/2, R2SiO2/2, RSiO3/2, and SiO4/2 in polymerized form, where at least 5 mole percent of the total amount of Si units of the amino-functional silicone resin comprise (i) RSiO3/2 groups, (ii) SiO4/2 groups or (iii) mixtures thereof;
• (c) each R is independently an alkyl group, an aryl group, or an amino-functional hydrocarbyl group, provided that the —NH— equivalent mass of the amino-functional silicone resin is from 50 to 750;
• and
• (2) an acrylic copolymer which has, in polymerized form, epoxy functionalized groups and cure compatibility groups;
• and
• wherein the coating composition has a molar ratio of amine NH functionality from hydrolyzed imine functionality on the silicone imine resin, to epoxy functionality, in the range of from 0.5 to 1.3.
