Headliner Option LINe X
#11
I did something similar with a car several years ago, taking off the peeling and shrinking fabric, removing all traces of old foam, then painting the molded fiber headliner several times with paint. It worked out very nice, with a bit of texture but not too rough.
I'm thinking of doing the same with my recently acquired Rover when I add the sunroofs; the rest of the interior panels aren't fabric, so a matching color will not look out of place. And it is a 4x4 for trail riding, not for shopping malls.

Alright boys and girls I picked it up today from the Line X guy. Also I had him dye it tan color instead of the factory grey, don't know why I just did. he painted all of my trim pieces to match except the sunvisors which are the grey color. The only other thing grey in the truck are the nearby front windshield pillars. I just realized I probably should have gotten him to dye it grey like oem but oh well fawk it.

Really like it, was it easy to put back in? hell you could get crazy and cove the hole thing in blue masking tape,wich would act as a mold release, then cover it in fiber glass, then pull off the fiber glass and tape, then you can add storage shelfs or speakers if thats your thing, then paint to match.Or Carbon fiber, really lite and neat looking.

I spent last night shaving and trimming off any excess over spray on the outside and inside openings. YOu can see what I'm talking about in the sunroof holes. Those little frays. Well they're rock hard and you can't use a sanding block to get them. Also if you have a dark colored interior get them just to line X. Its as black as oil and has this shimmery look to it but it hides all errors.
My mistake was having it sprayed in tan. All of my plastic trim pieces, map holders and such are light grey. Pretty stupid considering the only part of the car that is grey are the A/B pillars, the headliner and the roof trim. I wish they had made it match so now I'm pondering re painting the tan with a can of grey so it all matches.

Vince all of this I'm doing, all these "leaking sunroof" issues and you were blessed enough not to have them. Meanwhile your going to DIY give yourself the problems we waste time trying to remedy. They're not that cool, save the time and the money and put it into maintaining your rig man. Trust me you won't even want them open if your going over 45 anyway. I do however like all the natural light from the glass.
