The automobile decorative-part (1) comprises a resin-compact (3) having a decorative-layer (2) on its surface-layer and comprises a clear-coat layer (4) for protecting said surface-layer, and that a high-gloss region (R1) of a relatively high-gloss level is mixed with a low-gloss region (R2) of a relatively low-gloss level on the surface of said decorative-part, and that a clear-coat paint is sprayed by an atomization-coating machine onto the surface of the decorative-layer (2), and that the atomization-coating machine contains an ester-based solvent of a low-boiling point as the main-solvent that has a boiling-point of 100 degrees Celsius or less and has a solid-content of 35 to 40 percent by mass, thus forming the clear-coat layer (4) that makes it partially possible to mat the gloss of the surface of the clear-coat layer, thus manufacturing a decorative-part with an excellent quality design.
A method for manufacturing a decorative-part comprising a part having a decorative-layer on the surface-layer and having a clear-coat layer for protecting the surface of the decorative-layer, wherein said surface of the clear-coat layer of a relatively high-gloss-level region is mixed with a relatively low-gloss-level region on the surface of the part, characterized in comprising a decorative-layer-forming process of which the decorative-layer is formed on the surface-layer of the part, and then a concave-convex part is formed on the surface of the decorative-layer that should later be placed beneath the low-gloss region;
