I 2 was also interested in doing this. Would this require a few coats you think?

i think black suede headlining looks rank to be honest.

I'm gonna be doing mine black soon...

I have some black fabric dye to do mine, JordyGTI used the same stuff on his roof lining.

Just a case of getting the lining out the car, and applying with a spray applicator but needs to be left to dry properly.
