I used that Duplicolor stuff on my visors and it looks pretty good. Not sure I would spray the headliner with it though. Its a little stiff.

It works, and works just fine on the headliner, just doesn't have that smooth feeling anymore.

There are fabric dye's so that could do the trick.

Wrapping and spraying is a $75 job if you DIY.

I prob used about 4 cans. Total cost was less than $35 for sure. Can't remember exact cost of the cans.

The fabric dye is cheap, about $3 per box. Not sure how big of an area it covers. This is the one I got.

I think you mix the dye with water and then use a sponge or something to scrub it into the fabric.

Actually Sunday we are wrapping Midnyteblue sedans headliner. We took plenty of pics of the tear down and we will have shots of the wrapping. So I will make a DIY

Marco, Joe and I have been putting in some work over here and we will soon all have all black interiors. Got some double din installs coming up soon. We will have some update and the DIY up very soon.
