Disclosed are environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating
compositions which are curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation.
In addition, the disclosed coating compositions are suitable for coating
flexible objects and/or objects having angular features, such as, but not
limited to, flexible metal objects with angular features. In addition,
methods are disclosed for coating surfaces, or at least a portion of the
surfaces, and curing of the coated surface to obtain partially or fully
cured coated surfaces. Furthermore, articles of manufacture incorporating
fully cured coated surfaces are disclosed, including, for example leaf
springs. Also disclosed are methods, processes, production lines,
articles of manufacture, and factories which incorporate these
environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating compositions
curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation.
