Just put my old sun visors in the car, look Terrible.
Thinking about spray painting the (original black). Does anyone know what type/style spray paint would look best ?


Thanks Brian

 

SEM Landau Black. Works wonderful!! Buy online or at your local auto paint store.

 

Why not just replace the headliner with one the color you want?
A new one is barely more than the cost of the vinyl cleaner & the paint/dye

 

Use a vinyl dye. Paint will eventually start flaking off, the dye will not. Your local upholstery shop should have the color you want. If not, Amazon and ebay do.

 

Your local auto parts store should also carry vinyl dye.

 

FYI- Vinyl "dye" is not a dye. It does not penetrate the vinyl in anyway.
It is a paint that has more flexible and adhesion properties than average paint does.

most headliners can be restored to a nice look using:
1. a steamer to loosen the dirt & grease
2. simple green & a scrub brush to remove the dirt & grease.

Steam it, then scrub it, then steam it again and wipe it clean.

This does assume the stiches are not dry rotted and come apart when you start putting pressure on it from cleaning... which happens a lot with 50 year old stitches.

I've brought white headliners back to life with the above steps.
