I have a Chevy duty headliner and would like to change the color to more closely match my seat color. Has anyone in the group ever painted this headliner before? If so what kind of paint did you use? Vinyl dye? Plastic Paint?

Thanks

Jeff

P.S. check my truck out, all that is left is headliner and tailgate after a full frame off.

Let me tell what I've seen done by someone who also wanted to have his headliner and kick panels match his seat. Cover the headliner with the same material as you have on the seat. An upholstery shop can do it, or you can do it. Buy the upholstry material and get some good (3M Super Adhesive / spray can(s)) glue and cover it. It's not that hard to do and then it will match your seat perfectly.

Just finished my healiner and it looks great, Covered it with the same vinyl as the sides of the seat (top and back are leather). Thanks for the suggestions. Only took my dad and I 2 hours to install. Will post on Webshots.

Did you glue it to the cardboard? Or did you atatch it around the peremiter with a bow in the middle? I wanna see it. I just got my seat done and I bought some extra matching vinyl for the headliner. john.

I used the heavy duty 3m spray adhesive. Watch out for wrinkles, I got a few in mine. Will likely redo mine in a few years to work that out. The cardboard is cheap enough, also the vinyl.

Will try to get picture up today.

Here is the picture, The angle really makes the wrinkles stand out, they don't look that bad just standing there.

Well I just sent him this link to the album instead of the link directly to the picture. Maybe he will get it either way.
