So I want to get rid of my bloody period colored interior. My headliner is in absolutely perfect like brand new condition... But, it's red.

I would like to either bleach it and dye it grey, or just dye it black. I had considered just getting new fabric and changing it out, but with the sunroof and all the contours, I think it would be better to just dye it.

What dyes have you all used with some success? Is there a special process I need to know about? If no one has done it, I will take pics and post a how-to of the process.

Thanks in advance.

 

I would like to know about this also. The headliner in my '82 is crap so I kept the one out of the '84 parts car that I had. The headliner out of the '84 is litterally in mint condition, but its red and the interior of my '82 is black.

 

I would recommend taking the old material off of the pressboard backing and installing new material. From the Eastwood site (www.eastwoodco.com):

I am sure you could also call them and discuss it with them. They have been very helpful to me, and seem to know what they are talking about.

 

I pulled the headline, gave it a good scrubbing with some laundry detergents, and then used a spray can fabric dye. Original colours was brown, changed it to black. It looks much better than the brown, and hasnt really faded or anything as of yet.

 

Tweed...

 

Tweed is for tha BLING.

 

I don't really want to do that, because my current headliner is absolutely flawless. There isn't a single rip, tear, hole, or the slightest trace of discoloration. The only problem with it is that it's red.

 

sems is a good brand of dye to use. whatever brand you use make sure you clean the suface really good. you have to get rid of any trace of protectant,cleaner,conditioner,ect. or its not going to stick
