    How much material did you need to cover the headliner?

    Going to need to do mine soon and would like some tips if you have any...

    • Did you just rip off the old fabric or did you apply over the old fabric?
    • Where did you buy the copydex? and how much did you need to buy for the job?
    • How did you apply the codydex on, just smear it on with a spatula?
    the copydex comes with a brush and youn need around 500ml for a good job, copydex is a uk thing so you might have to go to bunnings and ask for an equivilent or order from ebay and just applied straight over the old fabric.

    edit....or get this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/COPYDEX-1...1bb8205&_uhb=1

    Good effort! Props for doing something different! Would like to see the crushed black - will you change the visors and grab handles to the black 25th Anniversary ones now or stick with the creme?

    black on black is a little more appealing than cream on purple.
    Look forward to seeing it when you do it.
