Abstract
A metal article is made to look like wood by impressing a three-dimensional wood grain pattern in its surface, coating the pattern with a translucent film, and staining the film. The stainable film is an acrylic resin filled with an extender pigment whose mean particle size is from about 5 to about 7 microns.
