Abstract: The present invention provides a metallic coating having a sheen and having a discontinuous structure at high productivity and low cost by using sputtering. A resin product includes a resin base material, and a metallic coating having a sheen and a discontinuous structure that is deposited on the resin base material so as to include a portion in which a high-formation metal that relatively readily forms a discontinuous structure when using vacuum vapor deposition is sputtered, and thereafter, a low-formation metal that does not relatively readily form a discontinuous structure when using vacuum vapor deposition is sputtered. The high-formation metal and the low-formation metal are selected from at least two species of metals whose crystal structures are identical and whose lattice constant difference is within 10%.

Abstract: The present invention provides a decorative sheet which enables to provide a decorative molded article excellent in design property even if the decorative sheet is applied to a decorative molded article requiring deep drawing, and a decorative molded article using the decorative sheet. The decorative sheet is formed by integrally laminating a base material-side adhesion layer, a porous decor sheet, a protective layer-side adhesive layer, and a surface protective layer in this order from a rear surface side. The decorative molded article is obtained by forming a curved portion in the decorative sheet and injection-molding the base material resin at the rear surface side of the decorative sheet.

Abstract: The electromagnetically transparent bright resin product includes a resin base 11 made of a polycarbonate (PC), an aluminum (Al) film 13 deposited on the resin base 11 by sputtering, and a chromium film 12 deposited on the aluminum film 13 by sputtering. After the deposition, the films 13 and 12 were heated at 120° C. for 2 hours together with the resin base 11. The aluminum film 13 and the chromium film 12 are hence present as a film of a discontinuous structure.
