Fabric Paint?

I'm not sure where to post this, but I'll give it a shot here. I'm about to start my T-Top conversion, and I have all the pieces, but the headliner that I have is the wrong color. Now before you say "Why didn't you buy the right one??", I got this one for FREE from a friend who has a fiberglass one with screens and stuff. She didn't need it, so she gave it to me. It's the light grey color and my interior is graphite. I was wondering if there was any fabric/upholstery spray paint? Anyone? :confused:

No one has any info on this? I know I've seen at least one article, but I searched and couldn't find it.

Yes, there is fabric spray paint/dye.
For a headliner - it will be fine as far as color and such- but I am not sure what it will do to the glue. It may make it turn loose - but you never know until you try.

Anyhow - the stuff is available at any parts store.
O'Reilly sales VHT which has a Charcoal Grey color available which I think is pretty close - but there are others I am sure that match. There is one that matches exactly I believe - maybe someone will post. You probably would never know the difference though on the headliner - it's going to be really close if you test a spot and make sure that it looks fine.

94BlackBowtie - I thought I saw some of that stuff before, I just wanted to make sure. I'm not worried about the glue coming loose. If worse comes to worse, I'll just have it recovered. I don't really want to do that right off hand because I'm out of cash and I'd like to start working on the conversion soon! Thanks again!

Any spray fabric dye will most likely turn the foam into a crunchy mess. Save yourself the cleanup and just re-cover it with new headliner material and 3m spray adhesive.
