The present invention provides a clear
coating composition that is highly
solid and yields a
coating film with good appearance and high physical properties. [Solution] The solution comprises a hydroxyl group-containing
acrylic resin (a), a hydroxyl group-containing
polyester resin (b), a
polyol compound (c) other than the hydroxyl group-containing
acrylic resin (a) and the hydroxyl group-containing
polyester resin (b), a polyisocyanate compound (d), organic dispersed particles (e), a
cellulose derivative (f), and an organic amine catalyst having an
amidine group (g), wherein the hydroxyl group-containing
acrylic resin (a) has a
hydroxyl value of 90 mg KOH / g or more and 190 mg KOH / g or less. A clear
coating composition wherein the weight-average molecular weight is 4000 or more and 6000 or less, the
glass transition temperature is 15°C or more and 100°C or less, the
polyol compound (c) has a
hydroxyl value greater than 200 mgKOH / g and 1000 mgKOH / g or less, and a molecular weight of 100 or more and 1000 or less, and the
cellulose derivative (f) contains at least one selected from the group consisting of
cellulose ether and cellulose ester, and the
solid content concentration is 50% by
mass or more.
