PURPOSE: To provide the surface layer structure of a member readily giving a sufficiently deep or stereoscopic appearance by forming a phototransmissive transparent protective layer or the outside of a phototransmissive resin layer mixed with light-reflective particles and formed or the main body of the member.
CONSTITUTION: A phototransmissive transparent resin layer 15 mixed with light-reflecting particles 13 is formed on the main body 11 of a member prepared by winding a prepreg comprising a synthetic resin and high strength fibers impregnated with the synthetic resin. The high strength fibers include carbon fibers and aramide fibers, and the synthetic resin includes an epoxy resin and a polyester resin. A phototransmissive transparent protecting layer 17 is formed outside the above-mentioned transparent resin layer 15 to prepare the surface layer structure of the member. The surface layer structure readily gives a deep or sufficiently stereoscopic appearance because light irradiated from outside travels to the transparent resin layer through the transparent protecting layer, collides with the light-reflective particles, is reflected and reaches the sections of human eyes through the transparent protecting layer.
