Sticking fabric over existing headliner

Post by yorkierob »

as above I'm thinking of covering my off colour tatty head-liner with either this or that question is will it stick ok? has anyone done this?
I don't want to attempt to take out the full head-liner and replace as it looks a real pig of a job
thanks in advance

I'm in the process of redoing ours with self adhesive vinyl from - http://www.vinyldepot.co.uk/, they say it will stick to many surfaces and they will do samples, they have a lot of choice, perhaps worth getting some and trying it.

Owner before me did mine in that grey blanket-like lining carpet using spray adhesive.

Looks a lot better than I make it sound
