Black Headliner
I accidentally marked my headliner with a blue pen this morning. Shame on me, I know. Time to rip it out and recover it in black cloth. Has anyone done this personally? The shape looks easy enough that I could do it myself.

There have been quite a few people that have either painted it with black fabric paint or covered with suede.
I am planning on covering mine with suede within the next couple months. Doesn't look to be that hard.

I went to Discount Auto and bought some fabric and vinyl black paint and it took about 3 cans to do the head liner, and honestly i couldnt be happier, it looks OEM and much better than that ugly grey stuff. Plus you dont have to worry about it geting dirty. (Sorry I dont have pics)

I have about 3 areas that i have to touch up when its a little less windy out. I'm going to have to find a way to spray inside the car, but that will be anohter time. Also make sure you have someone there when you are putting the liner back in makes it 100x easier.

I have scrubed it many times even with a rag just to wipe it down and nothing has worn off, its VERY durable.
