ABSTRACT:
An elongated decorative molding suitable for use with automotive vehicles has a core portion of reduced density and an outer portion of solid material such as a laminate secured thereto, to provide a finished colored surface of enhanced appearance and durability. The uses of a softer core material such as foamed soft polyvinyl chloride reduces the mass of plastic required by a significant amount, and modifies the flexibility and impact characteristics favorably, while the use of a skin layer such as a thin lamina secured thereto permits the core material to be non-pigmented, for significant savings.
