The invention relates to base enamels for producing base coat-clear coat enamels and which contain a water-dilutable polyacrylate resin. To obtain the water-dilutable polyacrylate resin, uncarboxylated, ethylenically unsaturated monomers are polymerized in an organic solvent in a first stage and, after reaction of at least 80 wt.% of these monomers, carboxylated monomers are polymerized in a second stage and the polyacrylate resin so obtained is neutralized. |
