   I want to make my headlining in my saxo black, but i dont really want the bother of re-carpeting it, so will black spray paint be ok if i take my time with it?

   in my opinion wouldn't it look quite tacky? i don't mean in a bad way but with the texture of the roof lining; wouldn't it become like a jumper does when rubbed with celotape!
   cant explain it
   Just do it tbh and make sure you tape up plastics and windows lol

   Lol well i will take the roof out of the car to make it easier, i mean you can only just try it anyway, if it goes tits up then ill just go to scrappy buy new headliner.
   
   But IMO i think it would look ok, cos it will be black and you hardly take any notice of the roof

    It looks good when it's done. Pair it with the 106 pillar covers which are black and your onto a winner

    yeah if u do the pillars and the roof it could come off pretty smart
    
    just test a few areas with diff types of spray cans and see which gives the best results!!
    
    let us know how it works out! maybe be tempted with it!!
