Expert 5K+ Posts: 9904 Location: Lower Mainland BC | Not saying that it is *THE* answer, but it is an answer, i.e. Chalk Paint. I've done my headliner with it. Headliner was disgusting. Now it it is almost nice. This thread: http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=66657&... Before (was originally a light blue, napped/brushed cotton, but by the time I got the car, dark, ugly and embarrassing): After (much lighter, cleaner, and "perfectly fine for the girls that I go with" ) : Edited by 56D500boy 2019-03-11 10:28 PM | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9672 Location: So. Cal | My headliner looked like yours when I first purchased my car. I didn't have A/C in it as most of these don't, and I drove it with the window down to keep cool. Well, it eventually ripped it all up and blocked my view very badly so I had to rip it out. Hopefully that paint idea will make it strong enough to hold up under a strong wind. | ||

It pretty much feels like vinyl now. | ||
