Abstract
A method for coating a surface of a structural component includes applying at least one ink to the surface of the structural component via an inkjet process. The at least one ink applied is irradiated with UV radiation so as to cure the at least one ink and to form an ink-containing layer. At least one metal layer is applied to the ink-containing layer via a PVD procedure. At least one clear lacquer is applied to the at least one metal layer. The at least one clear lacquer is cured so as to form a clear lacquer layer.
