Abstract
A process for producing a two-layer coat on a motor vehicle body in an automatic motor vehicle series lacquering unit. The process comprises the steps of applying an aqueous base lacquer coating composition to the motor vehicle body, exposing the aqueous base lacquer coating to a circulating air at 25 to 45° C. having an air throughout of 0.10 to 0.70 m/s for 30 to 180 seconds, applying a transparent finishing lacquer layer of a clear lacquer coating composition to the aqueous base lacquer layer, and baking the aqueous base lacquer and transparent finishing lacquer layer.
Claims6
A process for producing a two-layer coat on a motor vehicle body in an automatic motor vehicle series lacquering unit, comprising:
- (a) applying an aqueous base lacquer coating composition to said motor vehicle body, wherein said aqueous base lacquer coating composition comprises one or more organic solvents and has a high solid value of 40 to 70%;
- (b) exposing said aqueous base lacquer coating to a circulating air at 25 to 45° C. having an air throughput of 0.10 to 0.70 m/s for 30 to 180 seconds;
- (c) applying a transparent finishing lacquer layer of a clear lacquer coating composition to said aqueous base lacquer layer;
- and
- (d) baking said aqueous base lacquer and said transparent finishing lacquer layer;
- wherein the resultant coating is boiler-free.
