The invention relates to a method for coating surfaces by enzymatic reaction of a biopolymer, the method comprising the steps of: a) applying an enzyme to the surface of a substrate, and b) contacting the enzyme with the biopolymer to be deposited, wherein the enzyme cleaves the biopolymer, the cleavage resulting in at least two cleavage products of the biopolymer of differing solubility in a solvent, and depositing at least one cleavage product of the lower solubility biopolymer on the surface of the substrate, and a coated article obtainable by the process; A coating composition comprising a biopolymer and at least one component selected from the group comprising binders, fillers, pigments and / or additives and optionally a solvent. |
