Provided are: a coating composition which exhibits high stain -proofing performance and improved adhesion to hydrophobic surfaces such as plastics; and a coating process. A coating composition which comprises an aqueous medium and hydrophobic resin particles dispersed therein, and which is further provided with both hydrophilic inorganic fine particles and an oxidizing agent that contains at least one compound selected from among peroxides, perchloric acid, chlorates, persulfuric acid, superphosphoric acid, and periodates. A coating process which includes: a step of preparing a first fluid in which both hydrophilic inorganic fine particles and hydrophobic resin particles are dispersed in an aqueous medium; a step of adding an oxidizing agent that contains at least one compound selected from among peroxides, perchloric acid, chlorates, persulfuric acid, superphosphoric acid, and periodates to the first fluid to prepare a second fluid; a step of applying the second fluid to a member to be coated; and a step of drying the second fluid on the member. |
