Protective cover and tool splash for vehicle components

A method of forming a down stream part structure or mold for a component comprising:

• assembling a plurality of layers to form a charge, said charge being associated with a splash;
• forming said charge within an original mold of the component to produce a multi-contoured laminate by stacking a plurality of component-emulating layers formed by stacking at least one contour holding layer, stacking at least one part structural layer;
• and stacking at least one protective laminate layer;
• and
• stacking a plurality of splash layers by stacking at least one protective laminate layer;
• and stacking at least one contour holding layer;
• separating the splash from said multi-contoured laminate;
• wherein
• said splash maintains the shape of said multi-contoured laminate after being separated from said multi-contoured laminate.
