Budget Roof Lining
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2011 8:53 am
Hi All,
Just thought I'd share because I'm quite pleased with the result... My head lining began to sag some time ago and I stapled it up with a view to getting it relined in the future but that never happened because I have little cash to layout so I though to myself why not just spray paint it...
Method - remove head lining from car, rip of old lining, sand down until all dust is gone (used an orbital sander with a 3m paint stripping pad), degrease & wash down (pick a hot day), hang it from you washing line, spray paint multiple thin coats (can take a few coats as head lining corky board absorbs paint a bit), leave to dry, reinstall. Total cost $10 for 1 can of spray paint (bought the good stuff) 1 can just did roof lining.
Optional - Go crazy and spray paint whole car interior...
Material of backing board gives a nice tortoiseshell look
Kinda looks a bit Lord Vader with the read lights...
Also a bit of topic but NEW CARPET YAY!!
