Fiber-reinforced resin composition having surface smoothness

An exterior automotive part showing excellent image clarity after coating, which is obtained by shaping a fiber-reinforced resin composition having surface smoothness, said resin composition comprising

• (1) 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin composition comprising an aromatic polycarbonate resin and a thermoplastic polyester resin which is at least one member selected from the group consisting of poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(butylene terephthalate), poly(ethylene naphthalate) and poly(butylene naphthalate) in a weight ratio of from 10/90 to 90/10,
• (2) from 5 to 100 parts by weight of glass fiber sheet chips having an almost rectangular shape, each side having a length of from 1 to 30 mm, the glass fiber sheet chips being obtained by forming E-glass fibers having an average fiber diameter of 2 .mu.m or less which have been surface-treated with a silane coupling agent, into a sheet by a paper making process and then cutting the resulting sheet, and
• (3) from 0 to 40 parts by weight of a thermoplastic elastomeric polymer which is at least one member selected from the group consisting of an olefin-based copolymer, a polyurethane elastomer, a polyamide elastomer, a styrene/diene block copolymer, a methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymer, a methyl methacrylate-acrylate-styrene copolymer, and an acrylic ester-based core-shell graft copolymer.
