Whats going on fellas. So I am getting my headliner suede wrapped in the a few weeks and decided to test the waters with some spray cans to give me a rough idea of how it's gonna change the feel of the car. bought some vinyl spray paint, took apart the headliner and all the pieces and got to work. Not gonna lie but it came out much better than I ever expected it to. Im still getting it wrapped regardless but if someone doesnt have the money to wrap, i think this is a sick alternative and fairly easy as long as you take your time and not rush with heavy coats. Sh.tty iphone pics but you get the idea.

 

wow im liking me, good job

 

looks really good, does it feel weird?

 

Wow, im very interested in doing this. How durable is it? this would give me an opportunity to derattle the headliner too!

 

it doesn't look bad..

 

The interior definitely feels "warmer" and more compact, im loving it for sure. As far as durability goes, the fabric is really durable since youre basically dying it. What I did notice, which was expected, is that the fabric became a little harder, not as soft as oem was, but if you apply light coats, it will remain softish. The plastics durability on the other hand is garbage. The plastics chip easily which is why im getting them done professionally

 

How do you powdercoat plastic?

 

Lol ^+1

 

That is the best way to go if money is tight. That looks good

 

this **** dries hard, doesn't it?

I had my headliner wrapper in new black headliner material. But the sun visors, I sprayed... and it came out nasty as heo all crusty and such.

how did your's work out?

 

That looks really good for the money spent.

 

Hows the smell

 

exactly how did this effect the "acoustics" ?

 

how many cans?

 

Powdercoat as in professionally done, my bad captain.

as long as you do light coats it'll turn out fine. the visors got a stiffer feel to them but not too far off from oem.

non existant after a weeks worth of driving with the windows down.

depends how many coats and how heavy they are, you can get away with 4
