The invention discloses a coating preparation process. The coating preparation process is characterized by comprising the first step of raw material selection, wherein raw materials comprise, by weight, 55% of polystyrene foam, phenolic foam plastic, scrap rubber and nitrocellulose, 20% of industrial alcohol, coal tar, acetone and hydrosolvents, 20% of pigments and fillers and 5% of wetting dispersing agents, defoaming agents, flatting agents and plasticizer auxiliaries; the second step of fusing refining; the third step of pre-refining; the fourth step of dispersing; the fifth step of blending and color mixing; the sixth step of filtering; the seventh step of packaging. The coating preparation process is reasonable and simple, the process flow is greatly shortened, the raw materials of the coating are wide in source and are of a waste recycling type, and production cost is reduced; meanwhile, according to the raw material ratio, coating of different functions is convenient to make and meets the needs of other production processes, material capacity and the ratio are accurate, the deviation is small, product quality is guaranteed, and the enterprise yield is effectively increased.
