Provided is a surface-metalized polymer article comprising a polymer component having a surface, a first layer of combined multiple graphene sheets and an optional conductive filler (e.g. metal nanowires or carbon nanofibers) coated on the polymer component surface, and a second layer of a plated metal deposited on the first layer, wherein the multiple graphene sheets contain single-layer or few-layer graphene, and wherein the multiple graphene sheets and conductive filler are bonded to the polymer component surface with or without an adhesive resin. In certain embodiments, this article is selected from a vehicle component, an electronic appliance, an electronic device, a food packaging film or bag, a protective clothing, an antistatic film or bag, a susceptor in microwave cooking, a blanket, an anti-reflection accessary, a toy, a product label, a mailer, a sports card, a greeting card, a solar control window film, or a stamping foil.
