A plastic-metal laminate structure (40) having an automotive quality exterior coating. The structure comprises an outer coated metal veneer (60) and an inner plastic substrate (50). The coated metal veneer is made from coiled metal stock (115) which is coil coated. The coated coil stock is cut and die formed into coated veneers (195). The plastic substrate is simultaneously molded and bonded to the veneer to form a coated plastic-metal laminate structure (205) having an automotive quality finish.
