Spraying it makes it a bit hard and crusty. Tbh you can get a decent bit of material from a market stall or similar that will make it look much much better, and will probably cost less than the spray anyway.  :wink:

Saw this at http://www.fabricspray.co.uk/shop/upholstery-spray-paint/plum but im sure it was cheaper here www.fabricuk.com. btw the material im buying is £8.99 (per meter)
and i need 1mtr x 2mtr http://www.fabricuk.com/fabrics.php?categ=6#dataform (its the red & purple sample ive got) the purple is alot more richer & darker in pic.

diy matey :wink:
i did mine in the front room(was so high off the fumes i swear i saw elvis) :smug:
here is a link for removing the trim and lining:
www.diynexus.com/vw/mk3_remove_headliner/mk3_remove_headliner.html

i used half of a  double duvet cover and 1.5 tins of b AND Q upholstery spray glue :laugh:


I rushed mine,as i had to get it done before the missus caught me in the house  :evil:
 good luck
