Abstract
A vehicle trim part having a layered, decorative finish is provided. The part includes a polymeric substrate, a decorative layer overlying the polymeric substrate and a light-transmissive, protective layer overlying and protecting the decorative layer. The protective layer includes a front surface and a rear surface having a surface portion with a translucent surface finish. The decorative layer has an opening extending from a rear surface of the decorative layer to a front surface of the decorative layer and aligned with the translucent surface finish. Both a cross section of the opening at the front surface of the decorative layer and the translucent surface finish are sized and shaped to form a light pattern which is visible at the front of the part when artificial lighting illuminates the translucent surface finish from the rear of the part.
