Metal detectors primarily detect conductive materials, so coatings that contain metals, such as gold, silver, copper, or aluminum, can be detected. This includes metallic paints, conductive coatings, and certain types of metalized films. Non-metallic coatings, like standard paint or plastic, typically do not register on metal detectors. Additionally, some composite materials may have detectable metal components that could trigger a response.

Plastic does not significantly block Wi-Fi signals, as it is generally not a dense material.

Overall, Wi-Fi signals can pass through most plastic materials with minimal interference. Other factors, like walls and furniture, typically have a more substantial impact on Wi-Fi signal strength.
