The invention relates to a mixing system for producing water-dilutable coating agents with exactly determined colouration from different base colours. The mixing system is characterized in that it contains: A) different base colours A containing less than 5 wt. % water, at least one chromophoric and/or effect-giving pigment, an organic solvent, at least one water-dilutable or water-dispersible binder as well as, optionally, adjuvants and additives; and B) at least one unpigmented component B containing water and a binding agent. The binder in component B contains at least one polymer which can be obtained by polymerizing, in an aqueous dispersion of a polyurethane resin having an average molecular weight of 1,000 to 30,000 daltons and containing a statistic average of 0.05-1.1 polymerizable double bonds, an ethylene-unsaturated monomer or mixture of ethylene-unsaturated monomers, in the presence of a water-insoluble initiator or a mixture of water-insoluble initiators. The weight ratio between the polyurethane resin and the ethylene-unsaturated monomer or the mixture of ethylene-unsaturated monomers is between 1:10 and 10:1. |
