To explore the implication of the coating process on the comprehensive properties of water-based coating containing shellac microcapsules coated with melamine/rice husk powder on the Tilia cordata surface, the optical properties, mechanical properties, liquid resistance, aging resistance, chemical composition, and microstructure of the coating were analyzed comprehensively. After the best coating process was determined, compared with the coating without microcapsules, the self-repairing performance of the water-based coating containing shellac microcapsules coated with melamine/rice husk powder was explored via aging resistance test and scratch test. The results showed that the best comprehensive performance of the coating was obtained by three times primer, two times finish, and 6.0% shellac microcapsules coated with melamine/rice husk powder added in the primer. The coating with shellac microcapsules had significant stability, aging resistance, and self-healing performance, which can repair cracks in a certain period of time and inhibit the formation of cracks. At the core wall ratio of 0.75, the shellac which plays a role of the repair agent as the core material can effectively fill the microcracks in the coating to repair by flowing from the broken microcapsule because it can be physically cured at room temperature. The modification of waterborne coatings with shellac microcapsules coated with melamine/rice husk powder contributes the improved self-repairing properties of surface coatings containing heterogeneous natural polymer composites.
