Just wondering...I am redoing my headliner since mine was sagging and actualy falling on my head. I am using actual headliner material from a specialty fabric store with the foam already on it, in a dark charcoal color(my orig. was grey). I thought about the microsuede route like I have seen posted here, but that reminds me to much of crushed-velvet, the stuff I used to do back in the day and I'm prety sick of now...
Anyways back to the original question: I tore the old fabric off the 2 front pillars, as well as the 2 in rear w/ lights in them. I think recovering them in fabric again will make them too thick, and possibly even corny...so I was thinking of just buying some nice spray paint, probably a black color as well, and just paint the suckers...seems like it would be alot easier, and would look better..even might spray the plasic pieces that hold the seatbelt, cuz lord knows they look like crap as well..Anyone ever tried this, and if so how did it go, any pics?
I didn't want to use spray paint at first, but there's a whole bunch of improved paints that bond to plastic better, cool textures, etc...maybe even throw on a clear coat for kicks.
I will post some pics when done..maybe even will try and paint speaker grilles, lights, and handles..not sure if it would work on the sunvisors though...
