摘要 |
Molded metallized polymeric components are formed by methods of multi-shot injection molding of a first resin and a second resin, where the first resin forms a first polymer that is metal-platable and the second resin forms a second polymer that is resistant to metallization. The second resin defines one or more colored surface regions and may have one or more surface topcoats. The surface topcoat may be a transparent protective coating or a colored paint. Select regions corresponding to the metal-platable polymer surface are metallized. Molded decorative polymeric components formed from such methods are also provided.
