The sunroofs had apparently been leaking for a while before I got my Disco. Headliner is trashed, the material is sagging bla bla. I pulled it down and looked at the "shell" I guess. It doesn't look horrible. I'm thinking I pull the whole head liner out pull the material off. Super clean and sand the shell and paint it.
Has anyone tried this? If so post pics

 

I have seen many painted headliners and some with crazy material on them....IMHO that is kinda jenky for a rover. The material is not that much and replacement is easy. Check out the supplies here. Headlinerexpress.com

It will take you longer to get the headlienr out than it will to replace the cloth exterior.

 

I need to repair my sunroofs. Wont I need to pull it out anyway?

 

yes for sure, you will need to pull it to fix the leaks..there are alot of pics/write-ups of some nice looking painted headliners, I have even seen camo cloth up there. I'm not a big fan is all..I feel like you would smell that paint all the time and it seems cheap to me. Check the cost of cloth replacement before you decide.

 

Def no camo for me. Maybe Ill paint it black and put some of those little glowing stars all over it just to make you cringe. No, I agree it will look cheap. I am doing bed liner on the interior. I was hoping the headliner painted would go along with my rugged offroad look.

 

look paint your headliner. you will not be sorry check out this thread, read it all and pay attention to my posts I explain how and what materials to use. You won't be sorry, I've had many compliments and most people wouldn't even notice that you painted it, it does not look cheap it looks like a standard viynl headliner. Its definatly cheaper and easier than recovering it and it will never sag again.https://landroverforums.com/forum/sh...ight=headliner

 

you don't smell paint every time you go in your house do you?

It does not cost too much to get a proper repair on your headliner. I know hilltopper likes his chalkboard headliner but the majority of the painted jobs I've seen look like doodoo.

 

thats because you have to do it right, dont use spay cans you can't spray something as big as a headliner with a spray can without getting it splotchy. don't knock somthing because somone you saw didn't have the skill to do it right, I've seen plenty of bad car paintjobs that doesn't mean we should stop painting cars. If you can't get cleaning priming and painting with a roller, you aren't gonna get glueing and smoothing a cloth headliner right.
