Aqueous Coating Composition and Method for Forming Multilayer Coating Film

Abstract

The present invention relates to an aqueous coating composition which has excellent storage stability, while being capable of forming a coating film that exhibits excellent chipping resistance and excellent finish appearance in a dust part and in a film formation part. The present invention provides an aqueous coating composition which contains (A) a urethane resin that is obtained from constituents including (a1) a polyisocyanate component and (a2) a polyol component containing (a2-1) a polyether polyol and (a2-2) a polycarbonate polyol, (B) at least one hydroxyl group-containing resin that is selected from among (B1) hydroxyl group-containing acrylic resins and (B2) hydroxyl group-containing polyester resins, (C) an organic solvent that has a solubility parameter within the range of from 8.8 to 10.1, and (D) water, wherein based on 100 parts by mass of the resin solid content in the aqueous coating composition, the content of the urethan resin (A) is within the range of from 60 to 85 parts by mass and the content of the organic solvent (C) is within the range of from 5 to 30 parts by mass.
