Abstract

See full text

A device, in particular a vehicle interior component, includes a base body (10) made of a first plastic material which is suitable for injection molding and for coating with chromium. The device furthermore includes at least one elastic partial body (16, 18) molded to the base body (10), which is made of a second plastic material which is suitable for injection molding, but not for coating with chromium. A method for manufacturing such a device with a base body (10) coated with chromium comprises the following steps: injection molding a base body (10) of the first plastic material; injection molding the partial body (16, 18) of the second plastic material to the base body (10); electroplating a chromium coating onto the base body (10), wherein the base body (10) passes through a chrome-plating bath together with the integrally molded partial body (16, 18).
