A surface-modified member including a metal base, a surface modification layer formed on at least a part of a surface of the metal base, the surface modification layer containing a metal hydroxide, and at least one of a curable resin layer, an ink layer and a coating material layer which is provided on at least a portion of the surface modification layer. A method of modifying a surface of a metal member, including applying an energy to at least a part of the surface of the metal member to produce a metal hydroxide on the surface of the metal member.
