    Painted visors black to match new black headliner

    Posting some pics of the visors I painted black when I installed new black headliner.
    I first masked up the mirror part along with other plastic parts and sprayed with "plastic" black spray paint from Home Depot.
    Then I sprayed the visor part with "fabric" black spray paint.
    I was really happy as it hasn't chipped yet and seems pretty tough.

    Looks awesome

    I will be doing this also when i get around doing my headliner. I wonder how well it would work on door panels

    How hard was the headliner? I want to wrap my headliner in black suede one of these days, just been putting it off as it looks like a pain.

    Looks great, nice work!
