Environmentally friendly and renewable hybrid lacquer coatings with excellent aging resistant and anticorrosion properties were studied. The coatings were prepared using raw lacquer coupled with the silane agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane or N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane via an eco-friendly sol–gel preparation process. The physical–mechanical properties, thermal stability, aging resistance, and anticorrosion properties of the as-prepared coatings were analyzed. Additionally, the surface of the coatings before and after an accelerated aging treatment was studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results revealed that the hybrid lacquer coating A (with a raw lacquer-to-APTES mass ratio of 1.8:1) resulted in films with a significantly enhanced antiaging effect (e.g., six times higher than that of lacquer at a gloss loss rate of 30%). Besides, this film revealed an exceptional anticorrosion performance (with the lowest corrosion current Icorr = 2.476 × 10–10 A·cm–2) and a highprotection efficiency (99.99 and 94.10%), as demonstrated by its electrochemicalcharacteristics. Furthermore, all films exhibited a good barrier becauseof their dense structure, which prevents the corrosive medium frompenetrating the coating during the salt spray test analysis after1000 h. And the coating A relatively layered was distributing anysignificant cancaves, integrity better than all coatings studied,indicating that the based electrolyte was easier to penetrate it aftersalt spraying 2000 h.
