To easily form a coating film of uniform thickness on the surface of a substrate without any coating stripes or bubbles by forming the pile of a pile fabric from plural filaments and using a coating member of the specified filament density range of the pile in coating.

A UV using resin is oozed out from the coating member 107 consisting of a fibrous fabric and applied on a thermal-transfer type card-shaped material to be coated such as a licence and an ID card to form a hard coat as a card surface protecting layer. The coating member 107 is composed of a base fabric and a pile. The base fabric is formed by weaving the weft 107A and warp 107B, and the pile 107C is implanted in the base fabric. The one pile is formed from plural filaments, and the filament density is controlled to 80,000 to 250,000 units/cm2. A pile fabric such as called moquette and suede is used as the coating member 107, because it can give uniform coating with slable finishing and good appearance.
