1. A method of making a multilayer article, the method comprising:
providing a thermoformable substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite its first major surface, the second major surface of the thermoformable substrate comprising reactive groups; contacting a curable composition with the second major surface and a forming web to form a rolling bank of the curable composition disposed between the thermoformable substrate and the forming web, the curable composition comprising a curable polymeric material precursor, and the curable composition being covalently reactive with the reactive groups; passing at least a portion of each of the thermoformable substrate, the forming web, and the curable composition through a nip to provide a curable layer precursor while said at least a portion of the curable composition is sandwiched between the thermoformable substrate and the forming web; and at least partially curing the curable layer precursor to provide a base layer, the base layer comprising a polymeric material, and at least one of the thermoformable substrate and the base layer comprising a colorant, and a combination of the base layer and the thermoformable substrate being opaque or translucent.
