hilltopper's write up is good but I would advise aganst 2 things, don't wire brush or sand the raw headliner board, I'm sure if you were extremly careful youcould do it but it seems it would rough things up, which you don't want to do. If you use the roller method you get more build in the paint which evens out the texture a lot. oh and 2 don't use spray cans it won't give you even coverage or any build on your paint plus you can't color match spray paint.

 

I used Eds write up and it took me 2.5 hrs start to finish.It looks great no smell and no more saggy headliner.

 

who's ed?

 

me.... see my sig for my name.

 

lol





LMAO! I hadn't realized ed was hilltopper either until he pointed it out himself! Thanks for the write-up Ed! About to do it on my P38A Rover

 

I did it with spray cans, and it looks fine. If you're trying to keep these looking like 40-50k vehicles, then by all means put new fabric on it. Mine will never be worth close to that again, so I painted it, and it looks much better than it did with saggy fabric. A very good fix for a 5-10k vehicle. Also, the paint smell goes away in a few days.

 

That's pretty funny.

Either way, I pray to the Rover Gods that my headliner won't start sagging anytime soon(at 150k and it's perfect)*knocking on wood*

 

it will take you longer to pray, when the time comes just pull it and paint it. and as for the dont use a wire brush or spray cans i think if you are trying to scrape your headliner as hard as you would a grill top you will f it up. just nice and easy takes off the foam and the spray paint works great unless your a complete moron that doesn't understand how to use spray paint or you are too cheap to use more then one can.

 

Bingo! It's not rocket surgery, people.

 

I used the rubberized undercoating after scraping/primer. I do it to all my Discos now.
