2-Shot Selective Chrome & Paint Finish Panels


To meet program direction for a multi-colored finish panel within the same package space (without incremental space for attachments) meant a 2-shot selective chrome and paint solution in a single molded piece with similar materials was needed. In the first shot, PC/ABS is injected into a dual cavity tool on a rotary platen. In the second shot, a very-thin plateable ABS grade is overmolded.  Dip plating plus masking and painting offer numerous finish options with lower gloss over plating and MIC applications. The result achieves a very-good bond, has zero-margin gap, and no BSR issues.
