The invention discloses a water-based metal priming paint for vehicles, and belongs to the technical field of paint coatings. According to the water-based metal priming paint for the vehicle, a water-based acrylic dispersion, a water-based acrylic polyurethane dispersion and a water-based polyurethane dispersion are compounded in proportion, so that the obtained product is more environment-friendly than traditional oil-based vehicle paint, and meanwhile, the defects that the water-based vehicle paint is low in resistance and paint is easy to fall off are overcome; when the product is used forspraying paint on vehicles, a paint film connection port is smooth in transition, silver powder is arranged well, and the interlayer adhesive force is excellent; the paint has the advantages of favorable water resistance, favorable high-temperature resistance, favorable weather resistance, favorable acid resistance, favorable alkali resistance, favorable gasoline resistance, favorable engine oil resistance, high hardness, and high toughness and favorable MEK wiping resistance, and is suitable for large vehicles such as coaches, refitted vehicles, rail transit vehicle bodies and the like. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the water-based metal base color paint for vehicles, and the preparation method is environment-friendly and economic, has simple operation steps, and can be used for industrial large-scale production.
