anyone got more pics of there painted headliner? thinking about doing the same

 

Did you page through the thread and do a site or Goggle search? There are some photos out there.
......

 

Wish the pics were available on this thread. looks like they are all down.

 

I painted my Disco 1 a few years back with Rustoleum Double Coat Almond. I sprayed first with 2 cans of primer then used a 4" roller to apply 2 good coats of


the paint. Lying on my back taking these.
Make sure you lightly sand any really rough spots or it will show through. Repair any problems while head liner is out, sun roofs motors, sun roof drains etc. If you have a rear sun roof, there's a screw under that back roof panel, pop that tab out to get to it.

 

That is a nice job you did there reboot. Mine has wrinkles in the fiberglass lay-up that when painted give a faux leather look. Wasn't expecting that, but was pleasantly surprised.

 

I obviously need to take a pic of it installed, but I used exterior latex color matched to the seat leather. I first put on two coats of Killz primer. Then two coats of color.

 

This is what I did and I love it. I used a small, 4" roller except in the inside corners where I used a 2" brush.

Also, denatured alcohol worked great to prep the surface after the old fabric and the bulk of the old, orange, crumbling foam was removed with a stiff brush and the vacuum. The alcohol dissolved the old adhesive and left a residue-free service. The pebbly look of the fiberglass is sharp. No sanding required.

 

This reminded me that I need to take a pic of it installed, maybe I will tonight.

 

Why cant i see the pics of this anymore?

 

I can still see them. not sure why U cannot.
