  • Patent number: 5916496
    Abstract: A method of molding resin having substantial amounts of fiber and mineral fillers that provides, without the necessity of a base coat, a metallizable surface of reflector quality is possible. The method is useful for making a vehicle lamp reflector with a substantially organic skin over a substantially inorganic core. The organic skin may be metallized without using a base coat. The reflector may even be molded to give a surface gloss sufficient to be metallized without a base coat, and still meet the optical and durability requirements necessary for a vehicle headlamp.
