Low Gloss Coatings on TPO Hood Molding

This injection-molding application features a new type of hood molding – on the rear of the hood with a special low-gloss coating – to enable a particular look desired by the styling studio.  A TPO was selected as the base resin because of its excellent dimensional stability to limit cross-car growth.  Then special low-gloss base-coat/clear-coat paint replaced a low-gloss mono-coat system to create an impactful styling feature.
