1. A resin composition for automotive parts comprising:
(1) a propylene polymer composition comprising
50% to 70% by weight of a crystalline propylene/ethylene block copolymer (a-1) or a blend of (a-1) and a crystalline propylene homopolymer (a-2) having not greater than an equivalent weight of (a-1),
18 to 25% by weight of an elastomeric polymer (b), wherein said elastomeric polymer (b) comprises:
10 to 20% by weight of a copolymer (b-1) of ethylene and an α-olefin having at least 6 carbon atoms having a melt flow rate (ASTM D-1238, 230° C., 2160 g load) of 0.5 to 10 g /10 min,
1 to 5% by weight of an ethylene/α-olefin/nonconjugated polyene random copolymer (b-2) having a melt flow rate (ASTM D-1238, 230° C., 2160 g load) of not greater than 1 g /10 min, and
1 to 10% by weight of a hydrogenated block copolymer (b-3) that is a hydrogenated product of a block copolymer containing a polymer block of monovinyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon compound and a polymer block of a conjugated diene compound, and
15 to 25% by weight of an inorganic filler (c),
wherein the total amount of the respective components is made 100% by weight, and,
(2) an aluminum flake pigment comprising aluminum flakes, which surface is coated with a polymer containing as constituent units acrylic acid, an acrylic acid ester, epoxylated polybutadiene and divinylbenzene, wherein the aluminum flake pigment is contained in 0.005 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the propylene polymer composition.
