It is now possible to obtain a high quality, extremely smooth paint finish on thermoplastic exterior body claddings and moldings without spray painting. This can be achieved by insert molding a paint film laminate that has been thermoformed into the shape of the finished part. The injection molded part is then ready for assembly without subsequent finishing. Unlike in-mold coating and mold-in-color, this laminate painting process provides high gloss metallic and non-metallic finishes. It provides unique patterns and designs that are not feasible with paint. The laminate coating process has proven to be cost competitive with spray painting when the total cost of producing a part is considered. The paint laminate finish provides superior weatherability and acid etch resistance. Perhaps best of all, the paint laminate process is virtually pollution free and provides a safe worker environment.
