<p>An exterior automotive trim product, and method of making the same. In certa in embodiments, a color pigmented thermoplastic layer (75) is provided. A transparent clear coat (77) is calendared to the color pigmented layer (75) to form a composite or laminate. The laminate is subsequently vacuum-formed int o a three dimensional shape approximating the desired shape of a final trim product. The vacuum-formed laminate (91) is then inserted into an injection molding device, and semi-molten resin (119) injected into the mold cavity behind the laminate (91). The resin fuses with the vacuum-formed laminate (9 1) with the result being the final automotive trim product. Thus, no spray painting or spraying of solvents is required, and burdensome dry paint transfer techniques may be avoided.</p> |
