I think I'm just going to dye my headliner and visors. I searched and found several people that had done it, but didn't find any specific products they mentioned. I'm going to use Krylon for the pillar trim, do they make a spray on paint for fabric as well? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

duplicolor has a spray dye for fabric and vinyl. you can get it anywhere you find duplicolor spray paints, even wall mart carries a few of the available colors. works pretty well but as with any spray type dye it leaves the fabric hard as a board IMO

yeah i had a can of the duplicolor spray and decided to spray my old seats when i took them out just to see how it worked. it looked really good and the fabric wasnt that hard, i think it depends on how thick the fabric youre coloring is when it comes to the stiffness when it dries.

yeah, don't dye or spray it ox.... it will come out hard and crunchy.
Any hupolstry (sp?) place will sell the exact fabric you need, and it will look / feel the exact same as the factory headliner.

I figured that you already had the pimp coat, and you were changing your interior to match!
