Claim 0:
1. A method of forming a paint film applique, the method comprising steps of:
forming an in-situ polymerized color layer from a polymerizable composition for the color layer, wherein the color layer is a reactive polymer film;
forming an in-situ polymerized carrier layer from a polymerizable composition for the carrier layer, wherein the carrier layer is in-situ polymerized on the color layer and covalent bonds form with the color layer at an interface between the color layer and the carrier layer;
optionally, forming a topcoat layer; and
optionally, forming an adhesive layer opposite the topcoat layer,
wherein at least the in-situ polymerized carrier layer and the in-situ polymerized color layer are formed by co-extrusion of the polymerizable compositions to simultaneously form the at least two layers.
