Abstract
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 colored and resistant to metallization. Select regions of the metal-platable polymer surface are metallized. One or more metallized surface regions are formed on a first injection-molded polymer that is metal-platable and one or more colored surface regions defined by a second injection-molded polymer that is colored and resistant to metallization. Molded decorative polymeric components formed from such methods are also provided. A third polymer is optionally provided that comprises an injection-molded transparent polymer. The third layer protects and optionally encapsulates the underlying first and second polymers from exposure to an external environment.
