This invention provides a thermosetting organic solvent paint comprising (A) a compound having at least two alicyclic epoxy groups in one molecule and having a number average molecular weight of less than 2000, (B) a secondary amino group-containing compound and (C) a thermolatent cationically polymerizable catalyst and further, under circumstances, (D) colloidal silica, and capable of forming a rigid coating film which is hard, tough and excellent in stain resistance, and from which pollutants, if adhered, are easily removed. This invention further provides a method to form a multi-layered top coating film which comprises applying, to a material to be coated, one or more species of colored paint and one or more species of clear paint in order, said method being characterized in that the above-mentioned paint is used as a clear paint which is to be applied on the uppermost layer. |
