Re: Dying the Headliner
Ben, do you have any pics of how the seats turned out? I don't exactly want to f**k up my only set of seats and have to live with it every day

Re: Dying the Headliner
Just dyed a spare headliner I had.
Turned out pretty good, will take some photos after it's dried and in the car.

Re: Dying the Headliner
Sure did, took me 3 days.

Comparison photo between the stock and black one.

Re: Dying the Headliner
I took the headliner out a while ago and removed all the glue + rust.

Re: Dying the Headliner
How many cans did you need as I'm planning on doing the same at some point after I've cut out and welded in new sections in the roof.Vectose wrote:Sure did, took me 3 days.

Re: Dying the Headliner
Simple to do? Just spray on as you would when doing any other type of panel?
I found this stuff on the bay:

Re: Dying the Headliner
Yep. Very simple. Keep applying light coats until you get a full coverage.
And yes, that's the same stuff I used.

Re: Dying the Headliner
Brilliant. I'll buy it. 
I've become quite accustomed to a black roof... I've not had any interior lining anywhere in the car since January! Putting the roof lining back in again in its stock state doesn't fill me with joy!
