Abstract: A polyurethane material is injected into a mold cavity having a reduced pressure to form e.g. the surface portion of a polyurethane covering for a steering wheel. A polyurethane material for forming a substantial inner portion thereof and free of any coloring matter is, then, injected into the cavity. Then, a polyurethane material containing coloring matter is injected into the cavity to form the remaining inner portion of the covering.
