NOVELTY - An actinic radiation curable, substantially all solids coating composition (c1) comprises (wt.%): a mixture of oligomers (0 - 40), monomers (5 - 68), free radical photoinitiators (3 - 15), co-photoinitiators, fillers (0.5 - 1), polymerizable pigment dispersions (3 - 15), and optionally at least one corrosion inhibitor, flow and slip enhancer, and curing booster; where the dispersions comprises at least one pigment attached to an activated resin; and the composition has a viscosity suitable for application to a surface using spraying without the addition of heat.    USE - To prepare coated articles of manufacture selected from a motor vehicle, motor vehicle part (e.g. an underhood part selected from oil filter, damper, battery casing, an alternator casing, and an engine manifold)/accessory, gardening equipment, lawnmower, and lawnmower part, containing the completely cured coated surface (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The composition has a viscosity suitable for application to a surface using spraying without the addition of heat. The actinic radiation curable, substantially all solids coating composition is environmentally friendly. When used in a coating composition, pigment dispersions exhibit increased tinctorial strength and provide enhanced gloss. The polymerizable pigment dispersions, which exhibit minimal aggregation and agglomeration, are simply mixed into the coating composition and thus improve color reproducibility by removing the need for processes in the coating process. Furthermore, due to the reactive functionality of the polymerizable pigment dispersion, during polymerization the pigment becomes an integral part of the resulting coating because it is attached to the reactive functionality. This imparts greater color stability relative to pigment dispersions that simply entrap the pigment particles in the coating matrix. Thus, coatings that incorporate polymerizable pigment dispersions exhibit improved color reproducibility, and improved color stability, greater tinctorial strength and enhanced opacity and gloss.
