Process for producing aromatic polycarbonate formed articles having coating layer with excellent surface properties

In a process for producing a coated aromatic polycarbonate formed article having improved surface properties which comprises:

• forming a primer layer containing a thermoplastic acrylic copolymer and an ultraviolet light absorbent on an aromatic polycarbonate formed article, and
• forming a protective topcoat comprising a thermoset organopolysiloxane on said primed polycarbonate article, the improvement characterized in that said acrylic copolymer is a copolymer of an alkyl methacrylate and an alkyl acrylate having an average molecular weight of above 50,000, determined from top peak in gel permeation chromatograph.
