Abstract
A process for the face-side, in particular thick, coating of a motor vehicle interior trim part or the like inserts the interior trim part, in uncoated form, in a defined position in a diecasting or injection molding tool. A mold tool with polished surface is laid under pressure and under heat against the face-side surface of the coating. In the mold tool, the resin or the lacquer is applied under pressure and under heat in a single operation onto the interior trim part surface to be coated in the manner of an injection molding or diecasting process despite a shrinkage due to curing. The resin or the lacquer is acted on with a uniform pressure during the entire curing time. The pressure is chosen such that any air present in the liquid resin or lacquer is dissolved.
