Provided is a decorative molded article that uniformizes the brightness of an uneven surface and inhibits whitening. The decorative molded article is provided with a protective layer having an uneven surface on an adherend, and satisfying the following requirement 1-1: <Requirement 1-1> A black plate is stuck to the surface of the article on the adherend side thereof via a transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to prepare a sample A. A visible light inclined by 10 degrees from the normal direction of the sample A is made to run into the uneven surface, and based on the specular direction of the incident light as a reference angle, a luminous reflectance is measured every 0.2 degrees within a range of the reference angle±5.0 degrees.

A method for producing an injection-moulded plastic component made of a plastic having at least one recess for accommodating sensors, having the following steps: producing the injection-moulded plastic component in a mould having top and bottom mould halves; raising the top mould half and introducing a thermoregulatable ram which is guided in a sleeve; placing the sleeve with integrated annular space on the surface of the injection-moulded component, to form an annular bead in the annular space; pressing the thermoregulated ram into the surface of the injection-moulded component; and cooling the ram and raising it from the surface.
