^^^^Yep, got to see this...I have a CF headliner and need something cheap to do with my stock visors...My visor clips, oh sh^t handles, and rear view mirror have already been painted black but the visors are killing me...I was going to get black visor monitors but if this works, this is a hell of alot cheaper....

Okay, so I decided to paint last night...
That vinyl dye is a real dream to work with. Nice and even, and it dries incredibly quickly. I got the visors mounted this morning. I'm happy with the way they turned out. The grab handles are still drying (those were sprayed with plastic rattlecan paint). I'll get some pics when everything is back in the car.

Yeah - that's the beauty of it - because you are actually dying and not painting, it soaks in and it's next to impossible to create a 'run" that won't soak in.

Yup. It's like 5 bucks a can. You'll only need one to do the visors.

Yup... I haven't tested on fabric, but according to Duplicolor, it'd work.
