wraped my headliner...
 

so over the last week or so i have gotten the idea to change all the gray peices in my car to black. so i went to frabric land and bought some black vinel that matches ouf black dashes.. not sure if anyones to intreested but heres the steps i went through...



So i started with laying down newspaper and prep the area where i will be spraying

then lay out the material so you can cut a smaller peice to work with..

then cut it out.. you wanna cut it about 3 inches bigger then you headliner so it will go into all the curves and also so you can wrap it around the edges when your done..

then clean off the surfaces so the glue will stick... i got some 3m adhisve from part source that works well. very sticky but its is 25$ a can..
then your going to want to spray down both surfaces with glue and let sit for about 5 min for the glue to activate... then stick em together and start molding to the headliner...and heres what it looks like when its all done..(havent folded the edges in the pic yet)

so that pretty much how to wrap you head liner.. i have panited the a piller and rear gray pieces black so my whole interor is balck now. i will post up pics later to the of it all in the car..

no frills/food basics flyer FTW!!! haha nice diy im doing mines too in my em2 in the next couple of weeks its gunna be a surprise ill post up when i do. all black>gray/black

looking good. it would help alot if you could post the materials used, the brand, the price, where to get it from. I am going to be doing this soon so all that info will be helpful.

^^i've used it before for my door panel insterts. the first hot day, it started to come unglued. i think the 3m spray says it's not reccommended for headliners. there's one that is and one that isn't. i have both. i ended up redoing them with contact cement. holds alot better.

btw Kloo, are you female? i think i see a boob in this pic

MoAr pics of the boob... lol, good stuff Kloo, if you need any help with that crap give me a ring.. we did the TL headliner in black valour... looks good, never use that elmer crap sucks balls!

i always thought kloos was a dude oh well we definetly need more women on TI

nice beer fridge haha

side bOOb ftw! hahahah jk

more boob less headliner.

lol thats my gf you prevs lol jk.. yea i kno theres more then 2 kinds.. this is the stuff the holds vinel on the out side of cars...
as for the list of stuff used...
the vinel was $12.00M and i used about 1 3/4m so 2m would to just the headliner.. (frabic land)
the glue was from partsource and came to around 25.00 with taxes and i had none left after the headliner and sunroof peice...(dont be stingy and make sure your in a very warm place..)
we wiped it all down with and all purpose cleaner for prep..
(obviosly you get the woman to clean it lol :P)
and i cant stress this enough.. make sure the glue has set.. if it hasnt set before you bond then you will eather have it not bond or in heat like buff said it will sagg/come off..
i also used gloves becuase the gule is really hard to get off skin..
nawaaz if you want to see more of the boob come over for a beer lol haha

i may need a hand putting the light back together.. when i took it apart to paint a lil berring fell out and also a spring and a clip... anyone kno how to reasemble this? if anyone has anymore questions feel free to shoot em this way...

I dont drink, but definitely chill sometime. And I will definitely let you know man... what best buy do you work at? white oaks? send me ur number online or pm or something, and we'll get in contact man. what light? the reding light in the car?

lol i did the girlfriends jetta 2 weeks ago. did the headliner in really fuzzy hot pink shagg, and white short furr on all side panels. still have to do the dash, console and door panels still. but have to find time over winter to do so same with the fibreglass enclosure in her trunk.

will post pics of her over all car. only thing its a jetta tho. Sorry!

I'm pretty surprised seeing a girl working on it. Good work though. Girlfriends and cars usually don't like to get along.

yea i know gf and cars dont really mix but when i can i try to get her involved...as for the light it is the one behind the sunroof witch comes on when you open the door. i took the switch apart to paint and when i did i had those piece fall out.. anyone?...dochnotec....would deff like to see the jetta.. my frist car was an 86 5spd jetta lol... and whne i was looking around for diy on headliners nothing really came up so lets here some diff ways to do it...
