  • Composite body panel and vehicle incorporating same
    Patent number: 6224992
    Abstract: The invention is a composite body panel, a sheet product from which the composite body panel is formed, and a vehicle incorporating at least one such composite body panel thereon. The composite body panel includes a substrate having an inner and an outer surface. A lamination is applied to at least the inner and, in an alternative embodiment, the outer surfaces of the substrate. The lamination includes a material having a uniform surface which is well suited for formation, but which is not as strong as the substrate. The formation of the composite body panel further includes the step of applying a coating to the lamination, and then, forming the substrate/lamination/coating material into the desired shape.
