A clearcoat coating composition comprises a vinyl or acrylic polymeric resin prepared by reacting a functional group on a vinyl or acrylic polymer, wherein the polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) ≥ 40 °C as calculated by the Fox equation, with a reactant that provides a curable functional group that is separated from the polymer backbone by at least two alkylene, cycloalkylene, or arylene groups of at least two carbons each long. |
