A coating composition is used to form a film on a substrate. The coating composition includes a polyester, a cross-linking agent reactive with the polyester, and a solvent package substantially free of hazardous air pollutants. The solvent package includes a first solvent, a second solvent, and a third solvent. The first, second, and third solvents in the solvent package have boiling points of less than 300°F, of from 300°F to 340°F, and of greater than 340°F, respectively. The first, second, and third solvents are also present in amounts of from 10 to 25 parts, of at least 50 parts, and of from 5 to 20 parts, by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the solvent package, respectively. The first, second, and third solvents improve properties of the coating composition and of films formed from the coating composition. |
