Injection molding of a product and compressive decoration molding of a
surface of the molded product are performed using individual cavity
molds. A decorative film can be molded efficiently with a thermosetting
coating material under suitable temperature control regardless of the
shape of the molded product. An injection cavity mold and a decoration
cavity mold are employed. The injection cavity mold is set at a hardening
temperature of a thermoplastic resin. The decoration cavity mold is set
at a thermosetting temperature of a coating material. A molded product is
injection-molded in the cavity mold for injection molding and released
from the mold. A decorative coating material composed of a liquid
thermosetting composition is mounted at least on a part of the top of the
injection-molded product. The molded product is located within the cavity
mold for decoration molding. A thin decorative film is decoration-molded
over the surface of the injection molded product by compression spreading
the coating material within the cavity mold for decoration molding over
the whole surface to be decorated. The coating material is composed of a
liquid thermosetting composition that substantially contains no volatile
component having a boiling point below the thermosetting temperature set
on the cavity mold for decoration molding.
