Headliner trim
What is the best source/manufacturer for headliner trim. Or is there a good place to get the plastic replated?

Re: Headliner trim
I purchased mine from GMCPauls. The fit was perfect and looks great..

Re: Headliner trim
If you have a good set, just re-dye/paint. I had maroon and changed my interior color to grey/charcoal. Just clean and then use lacquer thinner to wipe down the parts and then clean with soap & water again. After it throughly dries, start painting.
I didn't have before & after pics of my other trim, but here's a pic of the a-pillar trim I got from LMC with the tweeters. They come black but I painted/dyed just like my maroon headliner trim with the charcoal. |

Re: Headliner trim
Well I did have this pic. This is after painting and re-installing in the truck. Even did the visors, dash pad & door panels with the same stuff.

Re: Headliner trim
Well... use dawn dish detergent to wash them, Then MEK if you don't have MEK use some lac thinner , Then use BULLDOG adhesion promoter very lightly a little goes a long way . if you don't use BULLDOG or a comparable product it will just peel off and your just wasting your time .

Re: Headliner trim
Check out these websites. Contact the company to see if there is a vendor using either sprayon or futurechrome near you.
You can try the Eastman product, but I have no idea how well it works. http://www.futurechrome.com/ http://www.eastwood.com/ew-liquid-ch...MgPRoCY9jw_wcB http://www.sprayonchrome.com/Gallery.html |

Re: Headliner trim
can you just glue the headliner without using the trim? I have a headliner for my 68 but no trim
