Abstract
A method of manufacturing a fiber-reinforced composite material includes applying a paint layer including pigment to a woven fiber sheet and drying the paint layer on the woven fiber sheet, imbedding the woven fiber sheet in a resin at a temperature below a melting temperature of the pigment to yield a resin and fiber composite, and applying an ultraviolet protectant coating to the resin and fiber composite.
