To provide a method for coating the surface of an interior component for motor vehicles which can be carried out in a cost-effective and simple way it is proposed that the interior component is positioned at a distance from a molded part in the region of its surface to be coated, so that a gap is formed between the surface to be coated and the molded part, that the interior component is braced with the molded part, the gap is filled with a liquid surface coating material and said material is cured by exposure to UV radiation. Also proposed are a device for carrying out the method and an interior component which is produced by using the method.

The invention relates to a method of producing an interior fitment for motor vehicles, the interior fitment having on its facing side a wood molding which is provided with a coating. In order to impart a substantially natural impression to the interior fitment, the invention proposes applying to the wood molding a coating material based on vegetable-oil-modified resins and natural vegetable oils, with the addition to the coating material of ceramic microparticles. Likewise proposed is an interior fitment produced preferably by this method.

In order for a unit for irradiating a workpiece with ultraviolet radiation, with at least one UV radiation source and at least one transporting device, it being possible by means of the transporting device for the workpiece to be fed from a charging location of the unit to an irradiating zone and to be transported from the latter to a removal location of the unit, to be developed in such a way that the unit can be operated more easily, it is proposed according to the invention that the unit has a common charging and removal location and the workpiece can be moved back and forth between the common charging and removal location and the irradiating zone.
