ABSTRACT:
Automobile body parts having contoured, decorative outer surfaces are molded. The automobile body parts include a molded polymer substrate and a decorative surfacing film adhered to one side of the substrate. The decorative surfacing film includes a substantially molecularly unoriented cast polymer film formed from a weatherable polymer. Also a method for making sets of such automobile body parts for assembly into automobile bodies is taught.
