Provided is a method for manufacturing a sliding member for a fixing device, said sliding member having a resin coating film on a sliding surface, wherein the method makes it possible to form a fine recessed groove, which serves as a lubricant holding part, in the surface of the resin coating film. This method for manufacturing a sliding member for a fixing device includes: a coating film forming step, in which a resin coating material containing a matrix resin is applied to a sliding surface, which slides with at least a belt member of a backing of the sliding member, and then the resin coating material is dried, thereby forming a resin coating film; a coating film baking step, in which the resin coating film is baked and hardened; and, after the coating film forming step and before the coating film baking step, a crevice forming step, in which a crevice, which serves as a lubricant holding part after the coating film baking step, is formed in the surface of the resin coating film. |
