Disclosed is a method of producing a powdery coating material by using: a
curable polyester resin (A) having a hydroxyl group and/or a carboxyl
group at the terminals thereof, and further having a number average
molecular weight of from 1,000 to 30,000, a glass transition temperature
of from 30 to 100.degree. C.; a curing agent (B) which is solid at normal
temperature and is capable of being reacted with the hydroxyl group or
the carboxyl group of the curable polyester resin (A); and a solvent (C)
having a boiling point under normal pressure of from 50 to 130.degree.
C.; and comprising a step of kneading the curable polyester resin (A),
the curing agent (B) and the solvent (C) under condition in which at 50
to 130.degree. C., not less than 20% by weight of the curing agent (B) is
dissolved in the solvent and, then, vapor-removing the solvent (C) under
a reduced pressure.
