dye the headliner??

[StellarSteph]

does anyone know how to dye your headliner??? i saw something about it in a thread and i want to know how to do it!! any tips?

[shadowxb]

I'm not quite sure, I've read about it as well. I believe there is some stuff out there where you spray it on the headliner like spray paint. I'm wanting to get my headliner dyed too...

Fabric paint

Autozone pep boys krageons all sells it,,,

[fearless]

i've done three headliners up here. dyed one maroon, and the other two black. takes about 4 cans of the duplicolor fabric dye to do 1.

[firstkingofbeer]

where can you get it???? and does it turn out nice? how long does it last and still look good? is it hard to do?

We dyed Jyls heading liner with a spray on t-shirt dye from Hobby Lobby it worked really well.

Hmmm....on behalf of myself and who posted this thread, thank you! So tell me BatComm1, how well did the hobby lobby shit work out? Either alternative sounds good.........

Blue suede you say, Do you have any pictures? That would look pretty sweet. About how much fabric did it take? I am thinking of doing mine something similar.

I'll see about some pics for you... I can get the fabric at cost and it was about 3-4 yards but you need to buy the bad ass glue for headliners!!! don't go cheap on this part!!!

The dye worked good..we removed the headliner and did it in our garage and we used the same dye in black to do the sun visors.

I know not to go cheap on glue. Last summer I had the pleasure of recarpeting a 26 foot pontoon boat. That is some heavy duty glue. 3-4 yards will do all of the tC? did you also do door and sunvisors or just the headliner?

:hide: :ponder:

[TinCan]

I covered the HL and the A and B pillers I left the C's alone because when is rains and you open the hatch its a water fall into the car lol

[nontoxic]

just finished my interior and headliner, will post pics eventually

[manjambles]

how well does the fabric spray paint work.does it leave the fabric hard like any other paint would

[nontoxic]

its a little rough but it looks great

did you just wrap the suede over the fabric already on the headliner or did you have to remove it? i imagine not but just figured I'd ask.....

[2widetC]

i think it is alot easier to have it replaced, the fabric that is. i took my headliner down stripped the fabric and had an upholstry (spell?) shop wrap it in suede (spell?) i like it alot better and there is no chance of the color ever coming off or anything, well i guess you wouldnt touch your headliner much but you know what i mean.

[i am nate]

i did my headliner with that dye stuff. works really good and looks good to

[Brooke]

yah vynal and fabric spray paint is so much easier...check out mine under project box album...it took me like 3 cans

[scikosomatic]

cool cool thanx for the info

[_Keith_]

If you do this you need to comb the fabric.. if not it will turn out looking wierd...

Personally I dont like the look. and you really can never get even coats.

[falseidolsfall]

which will last longer?
using that type of spray paint for the headliner
or to just redo all of it the color you want...
i've seen some people not do their tc's right and it fall down everywhere

[racersky]

wouldn't it just be easier to wrap the headliner?

Its all about prep and doing the glue right.

[falseidolsfall]

I understand
I guess the guy that did it on his wasn't worried about the outcome.
