The invention relates to a method for producing a partially translucent exterior trim part for a vehicle, wherein the exterior trim part has a base body (1), comprising the following steps: providing a
color film (2) which has at least one carrier film (2a) made of a plastic material that is transparent or translucent to visible light and an opaque and color-imparting layer (2b) arranged on the carrier film (2a), providing a design film (3) which has at least one carrier film (3a) made of a plastic material that is transparent or translucent to visible light, a transparent or translucent adhesion
promoter layer (3b) and a transparent or translucent decorative layer (3c) arranged between the carrier film (3a) and the adhesion
promoter layer (3b), introducing a plurality of perforations (4) into the
color film (2),wherein the perforations completely penetrate the carrier film (2a) and the color layer (2b) to thereby enable partial translucency of the
color film (2), forming a film stack (5) from the color film (2) and the design film (3), wherein the adhesion
promoter layer (3b) of the design film (3) lies against the side of the carrier film (2a) of the color film (2) facing away from the color-imparting layer (2b), inserting the film stack (5) into an injection molding tool having at least two mold halves (6, 7) which, in the
closed state, form a cavity (8) defining the base body (1) between them, wherein the color-imparting layer (2b) of the color film (2) of the film stack (2) lies against the inner wall of one of the mold halves (6) or is opposite the inner wall of one of the mold halves (6), injecting a plasticized plastic material forming the base body (1) into the cavity (8),wherein the plastic material consists of a plastic material that is transparent or translucent to visible light, wherein the plasticized plastic material is injected in such a way that it back-injects the film stack (5) and thereby bonds with the film stack (5), wherein partial regions (9) of the decorative layer (3c) and the adhesion promoter layer (3b) arranged above the decorative layer (3c) are pressed into the perforations (4) of the
colored film (2) by the
injection pressure and / or the after-pressure of the plastic material forming the base body (1), applying a sealing layer (10) that seals the
colored film (2) and the partial regions (9).
