Abstract
A method of decorating the front surface of a molded resin panel 10 to provide a decorative material 15 in one region 12 and a contrasting decorative coating 18 in another region 14. A resin undercoat 17 and a clear resin top coat 19 are provided for decorative coating 18. The method includes securing decorative material 15 to region 12 of panel 10, masking the decorative material throughout region 12, applying the decorative coating to the unmasked front surface regions of the panel, and unmasking the decorative surface material. A top coat 19 is formed to extend over both decorative coating 18 and decorative material 15 to protect and secure the decorative material with the same top coating that is required for the decorative coating.
