A plurality of stacked door skins is provided, the plurality including at least first and second door skins each including at least one inner panel, an outer body portion surrounding the at least one inner panel, and at least one contoured portion surrounding the at least one panel and interconnecting the at least one panel to the outer body portion. The at least one contoured portion includes a substantially V-shaped indent area adjacent to and within the outer body portion, a planar area that is substantially parallel to the outer body portion and is adjacent to and within the substantially V-shaped indent area, and a declining area adjacent to and within the planar area and terminating at the inner panel.

In a resin decorative part, a carbon decorative panel includes a clear decoration having a body transmitting light and including a carbon-toned irregular surface provided on the body and having a carbon-toned pattern formed with protrusions and depressions. The carbon-toned irregular surface has a plurality of unit patterns that constitute a weave of pseudo carbon fiber bundles presenting carbon fiber bundles in a pseudo manner, as the protrusions and depressions that form the carbon-toned pattern. The unit patterns each have a top portion positioned at the center in the extending direction of the pseudo carbon fiber bundle. A plurality of unit patterns include at least two kinds of unit patterns with different top portion inclinations, where the top portion inclination is the inclination of the long axis along the long side direction of the top portion relative to the reference line along the extending direction.

A method of treating PVC plates as well as plates and panels manufactured by this method. The plates and panels, in particular wall, ceiling or floor panels, comprise a heat-treated carrier plate based on polyvinyl chloride with a density of, for example, 900 to 2,500 kg/m.sup.3 and a film applied thereon. The film is a thin PVC-film and comprises a decorative pattern directly printed thereon.
