Disclosed is a coating composition rapidly curable at room temperature in presence of a vaporous tertiary amine catalyst and possessing a flexibility sufficient for a zero-T bend on metal and a mar resistance of at least about 2,000 grams as borne by the edge of a nickel passed on said film. The coating composition is a phenolic-terminated-polyester and multi-isocyanate curing agent (at least about 10% aromatic isocyanate content) dispersed in a fugitive organic solvent, and a mar-resisting aid of an organic compound physically incompatible in said coating composition and having an effective chain length of at least about 12 carbon atoms. Application of the coating composition preferably is on a flexible substrate such as a thermoplastic substrate. |
