Disclosed are thermosetting or curable coating compositions comprising (1) a film forming polymeric material bearing acetoacetate residues, (2) an amino resin cross-linking or curing material, (3) an organic sulfonic acid cross-linking or curing catalyst, and (4) an epoxide compound selected from limonene monoepoxide, limonene diepoxide and a mixture thereof. The presence of the limonene epoxide inhibit discoloration of the coating composition upon prolonged storage, especially at elevated temperatures. |
