A method of manufacturing a chrome plated component can include performing a two-shot (2K) molding process to form a component comprising first and second \members. A non-plateable resin can be molded to form the first member defining a front surface that defines a recess. A plateable resin can be molded to form the second member defining a back surface that defines the protrusion. The component can then be removed from its mold, where (i) an exposed surface of the second member defines a front surface of the component and (ii) the recess receives the protrusion such that the front surface of the first member is substantially flush with the back surface of the second member. An exposed surface of the second member can then be chrome plated to obtain the chrome plated component.
