Ive done it.

Just remove the headlining, then get a few cans of halfrauds paint, and get real close to it. Then spray away. You want to lay it on thick, if you do light coats, then you have to match the criss cross of the spray. If you lay it on thick, it covers it all up. Also, let it dry fully before moving it.. and make sure you spray the edges. What you might think you dont see, you prolly can see!

this stuff is very good. its plastic spray and once set will not come off. dont fold up the lining after spraying it. just let it dry and put it straight in.

use the black stuff and you will have a sport roof lining.

or you could just buy a sport lining or another lining

I will check the price of black sport lining at my dealer, but painting is much cheaper solution 8)
