Abstract
A method of forming a trim strip product that includes intermittent sections of a bright or color strip coextruded with a clear or translucent thermoplastic melt stream to produce the trim strip having spaced-apart sections of the bright or colored strips. Sections of the bright or colored strips are intermittently placed between two continuous thermoplastic melt strip streams as the melt streams are directed into a pair of cooperating forming rolls. The extruded strip product is then cut at desirable locations such as between the bright or colored strip sections.
