To enable a non-smooth texture to be easily imparted to an area formed with a photoluminescent film, in a radar cover having the photoluminescent film.SOLUTION: A radar cover for covering a radar unit for detecting ambient conditions of a vehicle includes: a base 12a that serves as a skeleton; a base coat layer 12c that comprises a plurality of insular parts 12c1 discretely formed with mutual spaces among them on a surface of the base 12a; a photoluminescent film that is made of a discontinuous metal film formed on the surfaces of the base coat layer 12c and the base 12a; and a transparent top coat layer for coating the photoluminescent film.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】光輝性膜を有するレーダカバーにおいて、光輝性膜が形成された領域に平滑でない質感を容易に付与可能とする。【解決手段】車両の周囲状況を検知するレーダユニットを覆うレーダカバーであって、骨格となる基部１２ａと、互いに隙間を空けて離散的に基部１２ａの表面に複数形成される島部１２ｃ１からなるベースコート層１２ｃと、ベースコート層１２ｃ及び基部１２ａの表面に形成される不連続性の金属膜からなる光輝性膜と、光輝性膜を覆う透明なトップコート層とを有する。【選択図】図３
