Recovering my headliner/ dying my interior
What material works best for recovering the headliner and where can I get it from. I tried with canvas and it wasn't stretchy so it didn't work well at all. I'm also dying my interior black and don't feel like ordering a can to do my center console. Where can I get it locally? Thanks!

When i did my headliner and sail panels i went to local fabric store and told them what i was trying to do and they new exactly what material to use. It was kind of a felt type material with a foam backing. Worked like a champ. Just ask them someone there will know. Also i highly recommend using 3M Spray Adhesive the local autoparts stores sale it in a tall white can.

I agree. I actually covered mine in Vinyl. Black vinyl. It looks good. It is only wrinkled in a few corners. In time I will come up with a good plan for sewing a headliner together out of black Vinyl that has NO wrinkled corners.
The popular thing to do now seems to be to glass the whole headliner or order a plastic one from classic industries and paint it the interior color.
