PAINT FILM LAMINATE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES A METHOD OF PAINTING AUTOMOTIVE EXTERIOR THERMOPLASTIC PARTS WITHOUT SPRAY PAINTING. HIGH GLAMOUR, EXTREMELY SMOOTH METALLICS, AND SOLID COLORS CAN BE PRODUCED. GRAPHIC ELEMENTS ALSO CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO THE FINISH. PAINT VIA THIS TECHNOLOGY IS VIRTUALLY POLLUTION-FREE SINCE THE PAINT IS IN A DRY FORM. THIS PROCESS CONSISTS OF INSERT MOLDING A PAINT FILM LAMINATE THAT HAS BEEN THERMOFORMED INTO THE SHAPE OF THE FINISHED PART. THE INJECTION MOLDED PART IS THEN READY FOR ASSEMBLY WITHOUT SUBSEQUENT FINISHING.
