A vehicle exterior component includes a light source and a cover panel that covers the light source. The cover panel includes a substrate layer, a light-blocking layer and a non-light-blocking layer arranged side by side in a planar direction, and a colored layer located outward from the light-blocking and non-light-blocking layers. A region of the cover panel that overlaps the non-light-blocking layer and is located outward from the non-light-blocking layer forms a light-transmitting portion through which visible light emitted from the light source passes. A region of the cover panel that overlaps the light-blocking layer and is located outward from the light-blocking layer forms a non-light-transmitting portion through which the visible light emitted from the light source does not pass. When the light source is off, a color difference ΔE in an external appearance between the light-transmitting portion and the non-light-transmitting portion is less than or equal to 5.
