hi there you could buy some vinyl paint for head-linings some years ago that you put on with a brush we used to do years ago when the headlining got old and dirty did a good job was about £4 for a 250ml tin most car motor factors should do it sorry thats all i can help

Are you just trying to make it look clean, or are you changing the colour of it...?

I did our estate one with Plastikote satin white spray, because it was filthy, and had purple overspray on it from a previous owner.... Looks like new now. I dusted it over about 5 times, using about 5 cans of paint... Try to avoid the shiny stuff as it would look a bit naff if it was glossy.

some numpty had put gloss black on my headliner. I painted it with matt emulsion - I still dont understand how it stuck to it though!

i used folia-tec interior spray. £15 a can tho and i ended up needing to buy a second. oops

thats really strange! was thinking bout doing the same, but dint know if it was possible!!

is it possible to do while its still in place? or does it need taking out?

[deanymini]

yeah i left it in place. took me an hour at least to mask it up but was worth it. really hurts the knees and thighs being in a small space for ages! oh, take seats and carpet out too, wear goggles and a mask! it sags from the moisture after its done but it's gone tight again now and no exageration when i say it looks like new
