Default Dyeing My Headliner

Im going to be taking of my headliner and I want to dye it black. I was looking at products on Sumit Racing. Anyone else done this with success? It shouldnt be too hard. I just dont know what type paint or dye to use. Any help appreciated.

I am a bit curious myself. I have frost interior but would rather have a black headliner. I have some stains in mine, and it really drives me crazy.

I checked on a local shop here to see about switching my headliner to black (from what I can tell Nissan didn't offer an all black headliner or visors) but the problem is the sun visors and the plastic bits. The headliner would run $120 but I would have to do everything else myself.

Could always take a fabric an super 77 (glue) it, then you would have a unique headliner..
I'm thinking of doing g it myself, just need some time off from work..

I was looking at the visors today. Do the plastic pieces snap out?

On the issue of black, I do think it would look nice in a Z that has the black interior and leather seats. Question is, would it feel or look smaller inside than it already is/does?

I dont really care how small it looks inside it doesnt change how small it is so why would that matter your not decorating your house.

I'm not claustrophobic but I also wouldn't like feeling as if I am driving
a coffin. Colors play an important role in how our subconscious mind
works, look at prisons, they paint them in chearful colors to limit the
weekly stabbings to single digits.

well personally mine is black and i dont feel like its gotten smaller at all. Hell when im driving i dont even see the headliner im not staring at the ceiling an driving and i think it looks better black but i have my opinion and everyone has theres but yes the plastic pieces do pop out pretty easy

I have the same problem. I was told to mix up a mild batch of degreaser, diluted with a lot of water, and just dab/rub it with a towel.
