Custom Headliners
#101
i got a cheap gun from harbor freight it cost like 20 dollars. i wouldnt get a good one cause the glue will eventually clog it up. ya you can clean it but it still retains glue.n and the pot i think cost about 20 dollars. i know a lot of people dont have compressors too. i just havent tried any thing else. i cant vouch for anything else.

I can vouch for the guns. Thats what we used to wrap our speaker boxes at the audio store. But yeah at the same time the peeps that don't have the neccesary hardware locktitie is the next best alternative.

Just finished my healdiner last nite....worst mod i have ever done...the only thing i can say that went rite is that i was able to get all the panels off without breaking clips..i couldnt avoid wrinkles for nothing..i kept moving the fabric around and couldnt get away from wrinkles...another thing was the glue bleeding thru the fabric....on top of that the fabric wasnt wide enought when i layed it on the headliner...ughhh..what a nightmare!!!so i out everything back together looking like shit until i find a place that will redo it.. :-\

what kind of material did you use??? and to keep it from bleeding you have to use a material that has a backing to it. heat guns will help with the wrinkles. you have to stretch the material if there are different contours. heat gun makes it easier to stretch. but dont burn the material.

mine is the same way. Its like T shirt material and super thin that you can see through it almost. I asked the guy here if it would work and he said most likely it would not. That’s why I didn’t do it. Kinda sucks cause I have a whole bunch of it.
When you sprayed it. How long did you let it sit before you put on the material? Did you wait long enough till it started to get tacky?
