Post subject:  ripped headlining - Dr Trim? Anybody?
Ok my headline has about a 12 mm rip in it, it is only 1-2mm wide at widest point. Is there an easy way to fix it? I know bugger all about vinyl (did i spell it right :shock: )

Second part of my question is I have used vinyl spray on my door cards but want my head lining a different colour. Unfortunately I cant find the colour I require/want, would it be ok to spray it with a standard paint as it wont have much flex or people sitting on it (like seats do) etc etc. ???

Cheers
Mark

I'm no expert at all...but you can patch it and then re-colour it...standard paint :?
I would take it to a motor trimmer and get the new colour..its the Van right..should not cost to much

Nah car is a car not a van, been thinking just to spray it with paint but would like that lil micro tear fixed first. I know there used to be vinyl repair kits but cant find any, tried auto stores, sewing shops and craft shops. Any suggestions?

Cheers

if u want to change the colour and u have a rip in it. i'd recommend getting a new hoodliner, because the current material is shithouse :lol:

it's always frail, fixing it will be almost impossible (from the few dozen mini hoodliners i've seen) because of the crap material, and spraying it with regular paint isn't the way to go IMO. Normally u use a dye , it's technically not a paint at all.

This info is simplyl going on the hoodliners ive seen before, urs may be different.



verdict:
if u want it done good, get a motor trimmer to make u a new one, or buy one and fit it. ebay has them sometimes and im sure some mini shops could get them for u.

if u want it done crap, try fixing vinyl welding or vinyl repairs, i know nothing about this method so i can't give u any advise, but i can't see that material being very co-operative..

spend the $$ and get it done well IMO :wink:

Anyone know what sort of dollars you can expect to pay for a new headlining for a van?
