The invention relates to a polyimide-epoxy type electrical insulating paint and a preparation method thereof. The polyimide-epoxy type electrical insulating paint comprises the components: a maleimide polyimide resin solution, N, N, N', N', O-5-penta-glycidyl-4,4'-diamido-4''-hydroxyl triphenylmethane, N, N, N', N'-4-tetra-glycidyl-4,4'-diamido-diphenyl methane and 2-ethyl-4- methylimidazole which have the weight ratio of 100: (80-100): (80-100):(10-30). The preparation method comprises the steps of: evenly stirring and mixing all the components at the room temperature to obtain the paint. The polyimide-epoxy type electrical insulating paint is moderate in viscosity, good in using technological efficiency, excellent in adhesive property for metal base materials (such as iron, copper, aluminium alloy, glass and ceramics), simple in preparation technology and convenient in operation and reaction raw material source; and the preparation process can be completed in general equipment and is beneficial to realization of industrial production.
