Provisional Apli- ‘calion Se. No. 60898617 filed Jan, 31, 2007, BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to polyester-containing coil costing ‘compositions and process for preparing them. Col coatings are applied to coiled shest metal stock, such ‘4 ste! or aluminum, in an economical, high-speed process, ‘Coil eoating i @ continuous operation, with the end of one «oil ypcally being attached tothe beginning of the following ‘coi to be coated. Important properties for col coated metals include weatherability, water resistance, chemical resistance, Scratch resistance, gloss, hardness, lexiilty, and resistance 'o surface delamination or cracking upon bending of the substrate, The latter property is important since the coated metal typically is subjected to a fomning step during the preparation of end wse ariles “Many cil coating compositions are known those skilled in thoart, However, formulation of eil coating compositions involves a trade-off wherein improved flexibility is only ined at the expense of hardnes, and vice vers.
