Abstract
A method for manufacturing a vehicle part, including the steps of applying a paint layer on a first face of a transparent or translucent part, applying a varnish layer on the paint layer, partially irradiating the paint layer and the varnish layer with laser radiation so as to etch the paint layer and the varnish layer, and overmolding a semi-transparent film on a second face of the transparent or translucent part opposite the first face.
Claims14
A method for manufacturing a vehicle part that emits light, comprising the following steps:
- a1) applying a paint layer on a first face of a transparent or translucent part,
- a2) applying a transparent varnish layer on the paint layer, and
- a3) partially irradiating the paint layer and the varnish layer with laser radiation so as to etch the paint layer and the varnish layer, and
- b) overmolding a semi-transparent film on a second face of the transparent or translucent part opposite the first face, the semi-transparent film configured for preventing transmission of natural light to a light source behind the transparent or translucent part such that the light source is not visible from outside the vehicle part when the light source is switched off.
