Abstract
A basic part is produced which has a three-dimensionally structured surface; then the surface of the basic part is covered by means of a resin layer in such a manner that all elevations of the three-dimensionally structured surface are covered; subsequently, the resin layer is ground off to such an extent that the tips of the elevations of the surface are also partially ground; and finally at least the ground-off surface is sealed by means of a clear coating.

Process for manufacturing a trim for an interior fitting arrangement of a motor vehicle, having a basic part with a three-dimensionally structured surface for an interior fitting arrangement of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- covering the surface of the basic part with a resin layer in such a manner that all elevations of the three-dimensionally structured surface are covered,
- subsequently grinding off the resin layer to such an extent that tips of elevations of the surface are also partially ground off to form a ground off surface, and
- sealing at least the ground-off surface by applying a clear coating.
Trim for an interior fitting arrangement of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a basic part with a three dimensionally structured surface,
- a resin layer applied to the basic part to cover all elevations of the structured surface, said resin layer being ground off to such an extent that tips of elevations of the structured surface are also partially ground off, and
- a clear coating applied to the ground off surface to seal the trim.
