Best tip I can give you is do light coats. not just one heavy one. go light let it dry and keep giveing them coats until they are all blk.
heres how the came out afterwards. I had to take the whole mirror apart to get it fully oem like...handles all came off easy. the viynl paint works great on the leather handles it actually is very strong...

A, I noticed you did paint all your pieces. The one thing i don't have to worry about is mirrors, b/c i replaced them with tv's wrapped in black leather. What did you use to paint the rest of your pieces? Did you ever paint the buttons or are they still tan?

adhesive
Bluelex,
What did you use to adhere the headliner to the actual roof? My stock headliner is sagging a lil by the sunroof. I have tried to use what looks like velcro but the adhesive failed. Sorry to hijack but I can't seem to find this anywhere. The black suede looks nice as well, good option for older headliners to update them. Nice work
Thanks

You can't ask Jon what the price was. I am sure the price as everything else is, is far less than here. I think I remeber him saying that his custom kit was cheaper than most kits here that are already produced.... crazy.

No I didn't spray my headliner...lol... I dyed the handles,mirrors and headiner panels, the liner itself was redone in real blk suede just the like rear deck and all the down pillars from the headliner....
