Well i bought a bunch of fabric paint for my headliner and carpet...and i was just curious how i should go about removing the carpet to paint it. I havent tried yet, but i was wondering if anyone had any tips or things that would make it easier on me.

Josh

-and i did do a search incase someone felt like telling me to.

I think the carpet looks great, but did you do your floormats too? Doesn't look like it. Maybe you should give em a quick coat to match our nice new interior! =o)

Also, I was thinking about painting my headliner black. I have a white Celi with an ALL black interior but it came with a gray headliner... u guys think it would look too dark if i did it black?

I was thinknig about doing my headliner black but then I drove my dad's convertible for a day. It has a black interior: black leather, black carpet, black everything and a black top and it felt so dark inside the car with the top up that I think I'm going to leave my headliner gray.

That makes sense. It just kinda erks me that NOTHING else on the vehicle is gray. Maybe I'll paint it white??
