Is there a fabric dye I can spray on or is the vinyl dye what I should use? I'm ordering the carpet in black, so I figured the carpet and headliner should match for now. Tips/tricks/is removal fairly simple? All the trim inside is in pretty bad shape too...all oxidized and or deteriorated.. Thanks!

It'll work fairly well on the headliner. Anything for interior is a special paint and not a dye. _________________ Robert Adams http://gparts.freeyellow.com 84 Conquista Back to top rtabish Wrench Necoa #: 12454 Location: 16(CO,MT,WY,UT) Joined: Sep 08, 2008 Posts: 153 Year: 1977 Model: El Camino Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 11:56 pm    Post subject: it probably isn't a good idea to be removing your headliner. even if it is in good shape, it is going on 25 years old, and will probably be a real pain to take off, if it comes off in one piece. best to try to recolor it installed. _________________ Rob Tabish Missoula, Montana 77 El Camino 83 Toyota Landcruiser 81 Honda CB900F 81 Honda CB900Custom Back to top CoyoteOn2 Master Wrench Necoa #: 7195 Location: 17(S.CA,S.NV) Joined: Mar 26, 2006 Posts: 791 Year: 1977 Model: El Camino Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:32 am    Post subject: Scott, Rob is correct, best to do it installed, just mask it off.
