Ben, do you have any pics of how the seats turned out? I don't exactly want to f**k up my only set of seats and have to live with it every day

Just dyed a spare headliner I had.
Turned out pretty good, will take some photos after it's dried and in the car.

Sure did, took me 3 days.
Nah, used VHT Vinyl Dye.
Comparison photo between the stock and black one.

Looks pretty cool, did you find much rust under there?

I took the headliner out a while ago and removed all the glue + rust.

That's why you need to start a showcase so we can keep up

How many cans did you need as I'm planning on doing the same at some point after I've cut out and welded in new sections in the roof.

Simple to do? Just spray on as you would when doing any other type of panel?
I found this stuff on the bay:

Yep. Very simple. Keep applying light coats until you get a full coverage.
And yes, that's the same stuff I used.

Brilliant. I'll buy it.
I've become quite accustomed to a black roof... I've not had any interior lining anywhere in the car since January! Putting the roof lining back in again in its stock state doesn't fill me with joy!
