Headliner color change

[ep3jd]

i've been looking for a good dye for it as i didn't want to risk drooping and wrinkles with wrapping it. i've done it before with my buddy on his sti and it was a huge PITA. keep us posted if you find a good dye

Dupli-Color has a charcoal grey vinyl and fabric dye in a spray can, I might give that a try. I did discover that the light grey plastic trim was rather stained and dirty as well, they cleaned up perfectly with a little sand blasting and should allow the Dupli-Colors matching "plastic and trim" paint to really adhere well.

I should probably post some pics up, I sprayed my headliner with the same Duplic-color paints and it looks pretty decent. Doesn't seem to be the most durable solution, but it works pretty good.

the question I have is, How do you remove the headliner? I'd mod mine if I figure how to remove it.

yea your gonna have to remove the headliner, its not hard. As for the duplicolor stuff, I recomend agaisnt it. It looks good on carpets, seats, etc. but I tried it on my first headliner, i have a new one sitting in my garage right now. I'm gonna get mine re-upholstered probably next pay check. I found a place that will do it in faux-suede for like $150.

If you use the duplicolor stuff, if you can find a good way not to get the obvious spray lines, please share. $10 is alot better than $150 to get a black headliner.

EDIT:^^ to remove the headliner, take out all the things attached to said liner, if you can take out your b-pillars, c-pillars, and a-pillars, helps alot. once everything is removed, pull the front infront of the sunroof down, then pull the entire liner forwards to the front of the car, it will drop down, then take it out the drivers door.
