The invention relates to a shell 2 for a vehicle part 8 and a method for colouring a vehicle part 8 whereby the shell 2 comprises a transparent outer carrier layer 4 and a coloured inner layer 6. The shell 2 is vacuum-formed so that the dimensions of the inside 7 of the shell 2 correspond to the dimensions of the outside 9 of the vehicle part 8, and the coloured inner layer 6 is applied to the transparent outer carrier layer 4 before or after the vacuum forming, resulting in a shell 2 coloured as desired for the vehicle part 8, after which the shell 2 is bonded detachably to the vehicle part 8 so that the shell 2 can be disassembled from the vehicle part 8 and replaced by a new one if the shell 2 sustains external damage, e.g. in a collision, or if it is desired to change the chromatic treatment of the vehicle part 8. The coloured inner layer 6 may be applied to the outer carrier layer 4 by various colour application techniques such as painting or screen printing for customised chromatic treatment as regards colours and decoration of the vehicle part 8. |
