coloring the roof
Thursday, July 28, 2005 8:40 AM
i was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to change the light gray roof color to black. i really dont want to reupholster it, but if i must i will. is there a dye for it? ive seen spraypaint for cloth and vinyl. would that work? and how much of a mess would it make spraying it inside the car like that?

yes you can use the vinyl/fabric dye. The head liner comes out pretty easy. Its held in with some pop in clips. I did mine black too!!!

check it out on my cardomain page: ~> http://www.cardomain.com/ride/630377

If you want another opinion...I would sijmply reapolster it. It really is quite easy. I did mine in about two hours and that includes removing and reinstalling the headliner. It will cost you avout $30 dollars for the material (go to an apolster shop and buy headliner material...thin foamed backed and somewhat stretchable). Another $7 for spray adhesive (3M -90). Works and looks better than OEM.

mine's black suede cost a little more than headliner fabric but it goes on right over the stock headliner

thanks everyone!...i did it the other day. i got the spray dye and it came out very well. i did the headliner and the visors black and left the sunroof cover gray, but i might dye that too.

yeah it came out pretty easily and i am really happy with the results. i painted some dash pieces and vents black also-but im not done with that yet. the black and charcoal interior looks pretty badass imo! subtle, but there

and thanks sweetcheeks! looks good! and i absolutely love the star decals!
