Hopefully it is good. I had problems with chipping the first time I did the big parts on my dash mostly from me trying to force it back into place. Had to redo it. After the first attempt, I did nice even coats for the second, and it still chipped but very small and I went over it with permanent marker and it looks almost the same

If it starts chipping then I'm just going to go get it professionally done.

Here it is:

Thanks, it looks good on the roof. I'm going to have to buy my paint. I think it'll take 2-3 cans to do all the small plastic pieces.

Thanks! Now, how will I get my back wall carpet texture black, should I try the Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric? The video they have on their site, they used it on seats, so I'm assuming it'll work for the back carpet.

Can you not copy me? Thanks.

I'll try it I think Thursday since I have the day off, and I can paint most of my plastic.

Does anyone have the dimensions of the headliner? I found some headliner fabric that goes by the yard, so I'm just trying to see how much I'm looking at.

The few I've seen on this forum, they just take down the headliner rip off the fabric and glue the new fabric on.

If I was going to reupholster it, I was just going to glue it over the fabric, ha!
