Best Answer

Plastic can be made to look like metal by a process called vacuum deposition.

This process can deposit a metal layer that is anywhere from one atom up to millimeters in thickness. It is used in the manufacture of solar cells and optical lenses. Some telephone handsets that are silver in color are created in this manner.
