I used normal rattle cans.......takes a load of spray to get a good finish and makes the headlining turn to a plastic type effect but looks good and is cheap and easy to do.

About 6 cans to get a good finish otherwise it dries patchy

Cool, I might go down the spraying line so. I'll need spray paint for the handles/visors etc anyway. How is it for finish? As in if someone rubbed off it would it come off in their hands?

Next stop ebay for some black 5 door trim!

Once its on and dried it will not come off.......feels like plastic when its done but looks better.

Did mine in faux suede. Did the pillars in black vinyl. Although the seat belt does wear it away.

Can't you get proper fabric paint cans? I'd try that
