I was wondering if anyone used one of the aerosol vinyl sprays to dye their headliners black? I know people wrap them, and i was looking to wrap mine as well. However i was wondering if anyone had any experience with Dying their headliners and if they had any pictures to go along with that.

 

i painted mine black, looks great. You have to know how to paint really good tho. It is really easy to make ____ look darker in some spots.

No pictures, way to lazy, sorry man.

 

Did you use the aerosol dye?

 

SRT-4 guys have been doing theirs for a while

All the ones I have seen have looked great. Except for one, the owner said he put way to much on. It made it hard and crusty...

 

take your time or itll turn out streaked or too heavy and matted

 

yep did my headliner and all pillars last summer

 

What did you use goose? Could yah Recommend me some stuff. Its either this or i wrap my entire headliner with perforated vinyl but im too lazy to do that.

 

okay well whats your solution to all the plastic pieces? I have been wanting to do my headliner and pillars in black for so long but all the plastic pieces (handles, visor mirrors, etc...) are the only thing stopping me

 

Id probably leave them, it would be like a two tone kind of deal i guess lol

 

autozone sells duplicolor interior & vinyl spray for $6 a can. get 4 cans.


i did my entire xB in black. i did the headliner and visors and all plastics with 6 cans.

spray evenly, do not soak the headliner. eventually you'll have an awesome black headliner with stock fabric.

best to do in sunlight, let dry for over an hour.

try it, if it doesnt work out, then wrap it....

 

i used the autozone's duplicolor fabric paint (sorry i didnt respond sooner)

 

MUST RESPOND SOONER! xP <3

I think it looks pretty high in quality. It's what I was going to use when I was lookin to do it. All the plastic pieces are the only thing that kept me from makin an order lol

 

Love yah! ill buy that and post my pictures and results!

 

please do, I might reconsider doing mine if your project comes out well

 

Will do, im debating about if should start this project now orrrr to do it when it gets warmer...hmm what to do...hmm or should i just paint them inside my basement.

 

just remember once you do one coat to do another coat after that. because it looks nice and dark black after one layer but if you take any pics of it, something to do with the flash it makes it look like its just dirty and patchy until you do a 2nd coat.

 

wait

 

Yeah i was planning on doing like 2 or 3 coats haha.


Los i think ima wait too....you want to grab food today?

 

si senor.....and if you need a garage i have two...lol well a two car garage...you know what i mean
