providing a liquid skin forming composition;
spraying said liquid skin forming composition in the form of a spray of droplets onto at least a portion of said mould surface;
allowing the liquid skin forming composition to harden; and
removing the produced elastomeric skin from said mould surface,
wherein said liquid skin forming composition comprises between 0.1 weight % and 5 weight % solid spot forming particles which consist essentially of flakes and which have a longest dimension that is between 40 μm and 500 μm, and
wherein at least 50 volume % of said solid spot forming particles have a longest dimension which is at least half the median volume diameter of said droplets determined according to ASTM E 799-03 (2015).
