Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a coating with a metallic or ceramic finish which is applied to all or part of the surface of a thermoplastic, metallic or metal alloy article, comprising: (a) preparing the thermoplastic, metallic or metal alloy article; (b) applying on said article a polymeric layer based on aqueous dispersions of resins that are free of volatile organic components or dispersions in organic solvents of resins that are free of urethane; (c) curing said polymeric layer; and (d) depositing a single layer of a metallic or ceramic material on the article coated with the cured polymeric layer; the curing of said polymeric layer of step (c) being performed at a temperature between 30 and 80 °C in the case of thermal polymeric layers, or by ultraviolet radiation in the case of photosensitive polymeric layers. This coating confers the articles a metallic or ceramic appearance, as desired, as well as resistance to chemical corrosion and external stresses owing to climate changes and mechanical friction caused by daily use.
