Roof liner painting
�
�
I know you can use interior spray paint to paint the plastic door cards and inserts, but does anyone know if it'll come out alright if I used spray paint to color my tan roof liner black (the rest of the interior is all black except for the roof liner), or is my best bet to buy some fabric and make my own roof liner?
Thanks,
Danny

Yes I have done it to mine and 3 others. I used the Duplicolor interior spray. I recommend the flat black.

I just did this yesterday and I gotta say -- it came out AMAZING. Looks totally OEM.

I did my cards, front and rear, and rear seats, I still need to do the front seats. I also used duplicolor, and it went very well - I had lots and lots of taping and papering (I didnt take the fabric pieces out of the cards themseves), I am still deciding on the headliner, as allready mentioned, pics would be cool.

I saw a guy who did it in his STI, he did the entire thing, but I just did the ugly gray middle parts of the seat. It stiffened the fabric some, but with usual wear, it softened up. After doing the seats I took simple green in a sturdy cloth and went over the seats, nothing rubbs off, pretty cool..

1. Take out rear seat
2. Take out all the paneling in the car except the door panels and dash
3. Take out the visors, mirror, all lights and switches and all clips in the roof
4. Take out the roofliner
5. Take out the sunroof liner (if you have a sunroof)
6. Use flat black fabric and vinyl spray paint and paint all roof pieces, switches, and clips and the roofliner and sunroof liner with multiple light coats. I used 3 cans of spray paint to finish the job.
7. Let dry and reinstall everything.
That should just about do it.

spray them with the same paint you spray your lights and roof switches with, itll turn out just the same.
sounds to be pretty easy, just a little time consuming with removing and replacing all the panels and pillars.
how long did you wait between coats?

Actually, this is kind of a funny story. I thought I could get it all done with one can of spray paint so I only got one can, pulled out the interior, did one or two coats, ran out of paint, so I had to go back to autozone. Again, I thought I'd only need 1 more can, so I only got one. I did 2 or 3 more coats on the roofliner, ran out, and had to go to a different autozone (because the one by my house ran out of that paint) to get the 3rd can to finish off the job. So, I guess I waited anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes between coats.:lol:

so basically you just spray it straight to the headliner right? :D I guess I'll do this for now coz my alcantara fabric is coming next summer... ;) thanks for the idea.
| palmerx141 | 12-28-2006 07:08 PM |
does the headliner still feel the same?

what do you do with the visors, pillars, oh snap handles, seat belt covers, light, and all the other tan stuff in there?
