Pastes containing matting and structuring agents and coating agents containing said pastes

A coating compound comprising:

• a) one or more film-forming hydroxy-functional binders,
• b) optionally one or more polyisocyanate crosslinking agents, and optionally one or more organic solvents, pigments, fillers, and lacquer additives, wherein said compound contains
• c) 5-60 wt-% of a matting paste comprising
• A) 5 to 30 wt. % of at least one thixotropic polymer selected from the group consisting of thixotropic (meth)acrylic copolymers, thixotropic polyesters and mixtures thereof, wherein the at least one thixotropic polymer of component A) is rendered thixotropic by the addition of thixotropic agents containing nitrogen to a non-thixotropic polymer selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic copolymers, polyesters and mixtures thereof;
• B) 15 to 45 wt. % of at least one agent selected from the group consisting of flatting agents, texturing agents and mixtures thereof;
• C) 30 to 65 wt. % of at least one organic solvent;
• and optionally wetting and dispersing agents;
• rheology modifiers;
• catalysts selected from the group consisting of organic tin compounds and tertiary amines;
• and optionally further additives selected from the group consisting of anti-settling agents, leveling agents, plasticizers, and light stabilizers;
• wherein the proportions of components A), B) and C) add up to 100 wt. % and the weight ratio of the at least one thixotropic polymer of A):
• the at least one agent of B) is 1:6 to 1:0.8.
