Default Painting my headlining!

Right I'm wanting to change the colour of my headlining from creamy beige to the dark grey like in the early S2 RST's and XR's. Changing the headlining ain't happening, has anyone painted theirs? Just wondering how straightforward it was and what to use?

There not that hard to change mate .Cost of one down the scrappy is probably cheaper than the special paint

Wouldn't have thought you could spray it, will start flaking off.

May be easier to get some sort of alacantra (spelling?) cloth or similar and then spray adhesive it on, then trim it of at the edges. Will take atleast 2 of you to do it. be alot quicker.

If you have a sunroof (genuine) fitting a S2 headlining will be piece of ... mate

Otherwise, give the headlining a damn good clean up spray with a flexible adhesive, then some plastic / flexible paints, did my old estate one, lasted a good 3 years till I sold the car.... looked factory too
