Hi there,

I am currently cleaning a roof lining for a friends 68 and there has been something spilt or leaked onto the lining and has stained it. ( may have been oil )
I have heard the vinyl can be sprayed. Just a few questions

Has anyone done it?

Was the result good?

What brand product uesd?

Any help or recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers :)

Hi cc2003,
I have recently done this on my car and the product used was Tautflex. it is a water based product and it sticks like the proverbial ( make sure you clean well before hand ). It comes from a company called Viponds. Fortunately I use various colours and was able to mix the correct colour for the lining. I sprayed it on.

You can also use vinyl ink that screen printers use to adhere to vinyl however this is a solvent based product.

All headlinings are like this after a few years. I think it is the glue leaching through the hood lining?

I've used VHT brand vynal dye and it is great. If done right, even if it gets scatched, there is still colour as it penetrates.

Actually, it's from condensate rising up from the sills and through the pillars :wink:
