Want to do black headliner- help me out.

soooo i was sitting in my car, and decided i dont like how the entire top half of the inside of our car is like greyish cloth. so i was thinking, could i make the sunroof shades, entire ceiling, and just about all that stuff BLACK? i love how euijin (i know i prob spelt it wrong) painted the dash red. i would love if i could paint all of the roof/ceiling black, the waterfall and dash black, and just completely black out the entire interior i think itd look so much better. maybe id do the red dash+waterfall like eujin, but idk. anyway, how could i do this? cuz i know i cant just take a paint brush to the carpet-like ceiling...

You can have an upholstery shop redo your headliner and pillars with black suede.

thattt would be nice. ive actually seen that but it was fiberglass, but didnt like it. but with what you said, how much would something like that run me? suede would prob cost a lot, i wouldnt even care what material if it was black.

This is an interesting idea... I've always thought it was unappealing to have black leather, dash, sides, but a beige headliner.

Black headliner will surely be much hotter, but it'll look good.. soo it's worth it.
