I want a black headlining, I have heard of people spraying them before??? What type of paint do I need? Whats the easiest stuff to cover it with instead of painting?

if its just a fabric one like parcel shelves are then you should be alright with just normal spay can stuff, or cover it in vinyl.

No idea what your headlining is like but my corsa one is just painted with normal Matt black rattle cans. My boss used some vinyl paint on his head lining though.

Mine was done about 6 months ago, still looks fine, when it was outside of the car it looked patchy, but once inside, it looked perfect.

Not too hard, sunvisors out, grab handle out, A B C pillars removed, should then just be held up with clips at the back.
Ive got Daniels old one in my car, that was covered with fabric and is going strong still. Pics in garage/project threads.

Mines exactly the same as AW06's.
It will look cack if you don't do all the other roof parts matt black as well. You'll want to primer those bits first as well.
