Abstract
A surface-coated, molded resin article for vehicles composed of a substrate (,) made of a resin, a plate layer (,) formed on the surface of the substrate (,) and coating films formed on the surface of the plate layer (,) wherein two or more different silicone-based coating films (,), (,) containing UV absorbers are laminated on each other. The lower coating film (,) is a light-reflective pearl film, while the upper coating film (,) is a film having a desired color. The UV rays are absorbed by the UV absorber contained in each coating film, to reduce the amount of UV rays that reach the interface between the plate layer,and the coating film,thus, peeling of the coating films can be effectively prevented. The lower coating film,reflects the external rays and provides a glossy appearance, thus contributing to the improvement in the appearance as a metallic coating.
