Disclosed are methods of forming a multiple coating on a dry plating member and a molded article manufactured using the same. The method may include applying a color coating agent onto a surface of a plating layer of a plating member and then drying the applied color coating agent to form a color coating layer, and applying a clear coating agent onto a surface of the color coating layer and curing the applied clear coating agent to form a clear layer, wherein the plating member includes a substrate, an undercoat layer formed on a surface of at least a part of the substrate, and a plating layer formed on a surface of the undercoat layer.

A method for decorating a translucent container including cleaning an exterior surface of the container and applying a silver layer to the exterior surface followed by a black layer applied over the silver layer. Portions of the silver and black layers are selectively removed to form one or more shapes using a laser. A translucent protective layer is applied over the entire exterior of the container.
