A method for manufacturing an in-mold decorated and in-mold coated thermoset article, said method comprising: placing, on a first carrier film, a printable film comprising a reactive resin and a printable resin, where (i) said reactive resin is a first B-stage resin (binder) and (ii) said printable resin is a second B-stage resin which either is clear or contains an additive that makes it white and opaque where said second B-stage resin is selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyureas, poly(urethane urea)s, and combinations or mixtures thereof; printing an image, pattern, text, indicia, or combination thereof onto said printable resin; placing, on a second carrier film, a durable coating film that is a third B-stage resin, where said third B-stage resin of the durable coating film is selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyureas, poly(urethane urea)s, and combinations or mixtures thereof,_said resin optionally containing an additive, a finish, or a combination or mixture thereof, selected to enhance the durability of the coated surface of the finished article by improving its scratch resistance; combining said printable film on the first carrier film and said durable coating film on the second carrier film into a multilayer laminate film on a roll laminator to thereby form a laminate film; loading said laminate film into a device that assists in the removal of the first carrier film and the second carrier film to thereby form an unsupported laminate film, comprising the printable film and the durable coating film, and sets the unsupported laminate film into a mold; filling the mold with an article resin and closing the mold where said article resin that fills the mold is selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyureas, poly(urethane urea)s, polyisocyanurates, and combinations or mixtures thereof; curing of the of the first B-stage resin, the second B-stage resin, the third B-stage resin and the article resin by performing a first stage of the curing that results in a limited reaction and creates a partially crosslinked state and then a second stage of the curing that completes the crosslinking reaction resulting in a decorated and coated article (FIG. 16B), comprising a cured article resin and an integral solid thermoset in-mold finishing film, derived from the first and second stage curing of the unsupported laminate film, which is adhered to the surface of the decorated and coated article; removing the decorated and coated article from the mold; optionally performing a further postcuring step; optionally stacking the articles removed from the mold, optionally performing cutting and/or routing steps, optionally applying further finishes to the surface of the decorated and coated article, and optionally cleaning; and either using on site or crating, packing, and shipping. placing, on a first carrier film, a printable film comprising a reactive resin and a printable resin, where (i) said reactive resin is a first B-stage resin (binder) and (ii) said printable resin is a second B-stage resin which either is clear or contains an additive that makes it white and opaque where said second B-stage resin is selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyureas, poly(urethane urea)s, and combinations or mixtures thereof;
