In this method, a delamination resistant three dimensional double curvature surface colored composite article is made by providing a membrane with a delamination-resistant coloring coating and applying the membrane to an injection mold having mold halves, a mold parting face, mold cavity edge and a mold cavity therein for the formation of an injection molded article, and injecting molten plastic into the mold cavity in order to form a three dimensional double curvature surface composite article with the membrane bonded to the injected plastic. Alternatively, the membrane is thermoformed.
