Abstract
Provided is a blow-molded article which can be readily formed with good Gloss and with substantially no surface unevenness, even without application of surface coating, and which can be used as a finished product without further treatment. The blow-molded article has a base layer and a surface layer. The base layer is formed from a thermoplastic resin material having a melt index (MI) of about 0.05-2.0 and a flexural modulus of 1,470 MPa (15,000 kgf/cm.sup.2) or more. The surface layer is formed from a colored or transparent thermoplastic resin material having an MI of about 1-30 provided that it is higher than that of the base layer, and excellent weather resistance. The thermoplastic resins used to form the base and surface layers should be resins of the same family.
