A method is disclosed for copying a surface texture of a surface carrier object to an air tight thermoplastic surface layer of an interior cladding component of a vehicle, by fixing the airtight thermoplastic surface layer inside the pressure chamber such that the airtight thermoplastic surface layer divides the pressure chamber into a first and second pressure chamber section by positioning the surface carrier object inside the pressure chamber with a positioning device in the vicinity of the airtight thermoplastic surface layer with the surface texture facing the airtight thermoplastic surface layer. By applying a pressure difference between the first and second pressure chamber section, the airtight thermoplastic surface layer is pressed on the surface carrier object, thereby copying a surface texture of a surface carrier object to an airtight thermoplastic surface layer. An interior cladding component of a vehicle, comprising an airtight thermoplastic surface layer is also disclosed.
