But the problem with severe color changes is getting into all the nooks and crannies, getting a good even complete coverage without missing any spots or having any spots stick to each other. Usually you need a catalyst in the paint and a clear topcoat. A headliner is something I never want to mess with. Stopped doing anything major to them over 20 yrs ago | It's okay if it gets stiff, no one will be touching it, so that is okay. If I don't dye the headliner, what can I use to clean it up?
Thanks,
