Celica Forums General Discussion Interior headliner and visors

i recently painted my dash and now I plan on painting the headliner and visors... what doya guys think? Is this a good idea, bad idea? any suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated. Feel free to whore up this thread

Wrap it with fabric not paint it

MM suede. say it with me now... suede.

would it b hard to wrap the visors in suede?

no one that i know of have successfully recovered the visors...

if i paint the headliner and visors... will they still have the same fabric texture?

the visors would be kind of difficult to wrap in seude but if you put your mind to it, you can do it.

yeah i wouldnt paint it would look 10000000x's better in seude

ummm depends on your skills really either sounds good to do... But I think it would be easiest with suade

fiberglass them...! then paint...

I plan on doing the headliner and visors with SEM dye real soon.

In my skewed opinion, suede would not or will not ever look stock and that's what I'm going for.
I have seen the pictures since day one (I was going to go that route when this was being done originally), and it looks like a pimp mobile or something I might get confused with some comfy bedspreads and want to roll around in it.

I probably would by the fabric with all good intentions in wrapping my headliner in it and then just make some pillow cases instead for the winter.

It looks great for some, but for me a little spray dye or fabric dye that will last forever especially for the headliner and visors will be better.

cover with resin and then sand and paint

im kinda goin for the stock and simple look... i like the way suede looks but i dont think its for me... im jus gonna paint them

wrapping the headliner in suede seems like something i can do... but the visors seems complicated

painting will make it hard and rough

try dying it

what does suede look like?

^^ nice triple post
well i only planned on using maybe 3 light coats... i doubt itll be hard and rough because the paint ill b using is made for vinyl and fabrics

thx, i pride myself in making those 3 posts

if it's made for fabrics then go for it
just dont OD that sh!t

thnx bro... im gonna go for it

no mirror = got to look at myself and make sure theres no bugs in my teeth from sticken my head out the window.

looks nice but i wanna keep my mirrors... also goin for the stock look

try removing the mirrors first, i'm sure they'll pop off

You've probably already seen this "How-to" but just reupholstering the headliner seems simpler in my opinion. I mean you wouldn't have to worry about the texture since you'd just be picking up the fabric in whatever texture you want.

I'm with Sophia don't paint. It makes its hard and dry and just doesn't look good...
