The thermosetting powdery coating composition of the invention comprises (A) from 40 to 98 parts by weight of a fluorinecontaining copolymer, which is a copolymer of a fluoroolefin and a comonomer having a crosslinkable reactive group, e.g., hydroxy, carboxyl, amino and glycidyl groups, containing at least 10% by weight of fluorine and having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.05-2 dl/g (30 °C, tetrahydrofuran) and a glass transition temperature of 30-120 °C and (B) from 60 to 2 parts by weight of a curing agent capable of forming crosslinks by reacting with the crosslinkable reactive groups in (A). The powdery coating composition of the invention is excellent in the dispersibility of pigments and efficiency in the coating works therewith and capable of giving a coating film having improved adhesion to the substrate surface, surface luster, impact resistance and insusceptibility to stain. |
