According to the present invention, provided is a cationically
electrodepositable coating material comprising a resin for a cationically
electrodepositable coating material, a hydrotalcite-like solid solution
having a specific composition and, if necessary, a basic bismuth compound
and/or an organic acid salt thereof. Such cationically electrodepositable
coating material forms a coating film which is excellent in performances
such as an edge corrosion-preventive property, a throwing power, a
chemical resistance and a smoothness without adding harmful substances
such as lead compounds and chromium compound.
