Abstract
A bi-laminate polymer coated metal substrate, vehicle trim member formed therefrom, and method of manufacture thereof are provided. The bi-laminate polymer coated metal substrate includes a monolithic metal substrate having a first area with a first polymeric material bonded thereto and a second area, different from the first area, with a second polymeric material bonded thereto. A substantially tear resistant, protective substrate is releasably bonded to the first polymeric material, with the first polymeric material being sandwiched between the protective substrate and the metal substrate. The protective substrate is selectively removable from the first polymeric material to expose the first polymeric material as a finish surface.
