A binder solution comprising, based on the solution, (A) from 30 to 50% by weight of an alkyl and/or cycloalkyl acetate of 3 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl and/or cycloalkyl radical, (B) from 30 to 50% by weight of an alkoxyalkyl, cycloalkoxyalkyl, alkoxycycloalkyl and/or cycloalkoxycycloalkyl acetate of 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkoxy and alkyl radical and of 3 to 10 carbon atoms in the cycloalkoxy and cycloalkyl radical, (C) from 10 to 30% by weight of an alkylaromatic compound having at least two alkyl radicals of 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the molecule, (D) from 0.01 to 1% by weight of an alcohol of 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the molecule, (E) from 0.005 to 1% by weight of an additive, and (F) from 0.5 to 5% by weight of an organic solution of a (meth)acrylate copolymer having a solids content, based on the solution (F), of from 50 to 90% by weight, and its use for automotive spot repair.
