The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a metallized plastic product with a gold or silver hue, comprising the steps: galvanization of a surface of the plastic body for forming a galvanized chromium layer; deposition by evaporation of a metal layer directly on the galvanized chromium layer, the metal being copper, a mixture of metals comprising at least 70% by weight of copper, a copper alloy comprising at least 70% by weight of copper, or aluminum. The invention also relates to a metallized plastic product (1) with a gold or silver hue, comprising a plastic body (2), a galvanized chromium layer (3, 4, 5, 6), and a metal layer (7), the metal being copper, a mixture of metals comprising at least 70% by weight of copper, an alloy containing copper in an amount of at least 70% by weight, or aluminum.
