A method of plating a flexible plastic part is disclosed where serrations are provided on a flexible beam where the serrations are sinuous in shape. After molding the serrations onto the flexible beam, the component is electrically dipped to plate the component. The flexible beam can now be flexed without concern of cracking the plating along the length of the beam where the beam is flexed. A second embodiment shows an outlet box including two latch members along the sides which are bow shaped and have grounding surfaces thereon, which latch the outlet box in place to a panel, and simultaneously ground the box to the panel.
