"textContent": "The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a partially translucent outer cladding part for a vehicle, wherein the outer cladding part comprises a base body (1), comprising the following steps: providing a colored film (2) which has at least one carrier film (2a) made of a plastic material that is transparent or translucent to visible light and a light-impermeable, color-imparting layer (2b) arranged on the carrier film (2a), introducing a plurality of perforations (4) into the colored film (2), wherein the perforations completely penetrate the carrier film (2a) and the color layer (2b) in order thereby to enable partial translucency of the colored film (2), inserting the colored film (5) into an injection molding tool which has at least two tool mold halves (6, 7) which, in the closed state, form between them a cavity (8) defining the base body (1), wherein the color-imparting layer (2b) of the colored film (2) bears against the inner wall of one of the tool mold halves (6) or faces the inner wall of one of the tool mold halves (6), injecting a first plasticized plastic material (1a) forming the base body (1) into the cavity (8), wherein the first plasticized plastic material (1a) consists of a plastic material that is transparent or translucent to visible light, and injecting a second plasticized plastic material (1b) also forming the base body (1) into the cavity (8), wherein the plasticized plastic materials (1a, 1b) are injected such that the colored film (2) is back-injected at mutually distinct areas by the first and by the second plasticized plastic material (1a, 1b) and the two plastic materials (1a, 1b) hereby bond with the carrier film (2a) of the colored film (2), wherein the plasticized plastic materials (1a, 1b) are injected in a targeted manner such that only the first plasticized plastic material (1a) is pressed into the perforations (4) of the colored film (2) and forms partial areas (9) of the base body (1) therein, applying a sealing layer (10) made of a transparent or translucent plastic material which seals the colored film (2) and the partial areas (9).",
