I have a very grubby but intact beige headlining and it occured to me that it might look a lot better if it was black and that this might be achieved by paint. I envisage some sort of fabric paint: anyone have any experience or ideas about this?

Mine has been painted black, but it was done before I bought the car. I like it - but you need to make sure you do the whole of the sunroof lining or it looks naff!
