Think there was someone asking a few weeks ago about black headlining . This was a badly glue stained / discoloured . Cleaned it up as much as I could then painted it in halfords vinyl trim paint . It takes 2 cans to paint one half . At £10 a can it ain't cheap . Pity they don't supply a cream colour . Does anyone have a link to anyone who supply's a vinyl paint in cream ? .... Ken

Some other colours here (USA)

That would have been me. That looks fantastic

I was going to "tidy up" the headlining for my Traveller and had a quote from KOLORBOND. They could match any RAL colour or you supply a piece of the vinyl for them to colour match.
Each can was £17.50 + vat + del (minimum 2 cans) and each can would cover 0.5 M square.
After a quick calculation it would have cost me close on £100 which is what a new headlining would cost anyway.

The glue stains etc will have to stay, for a while at least.

I have tried getting the stains off with practically every "cleaning" product I have in the shed, but so far, I have only managed to lighten the stains a little bit.

My Traveller had very badly stained headliner from previous owner's heavy smoking habit and I couldn't get the colour staining out at all. So I just bought a few rattle cans of Old English White from the motor factors - came up great. Done now about 15 years and no change whatsoever since then.
