A method includes applying a coating composition to a substrate through a high transfer efficiency applicator to form the coating layer on the substrate wherein a loss of volatiles is less than about 0.5 weight, and wherein the coating composition comprises:A. a resin comprising an acrylic, a polyester, or combinations thereof;B. a melamine cross-linker;C. an optional pigment;D. an organic solvent; andE. at least one polyurea crystal sag control agent that is the reaction product of an amine and an isocyanate, that has a melting point of from about 50° C. to about 150° C., and that is present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 4 weight percent based on a total weight of the coating composition; andwherein the coating composition has a wet film thickness of at least about 30 microns measured at about 45 degrees without visible sag. |
