tuan your killing me bro! honestly for the effort and cash you have blown painting your interior you could have just started sourcing oem black parts. yeah you would have spent a tad more but also would have a clean ride instead of half assing it. sorry man i mean no disrespect and hope you dont take offense but just stop painting and start replacing. also you can get a brand new headliner done for 100 bucks and it will look a thousand times better. you own an sc its not a chevy cavalier.

I could have not said it better myself. You do own a Lexus not a chevy or cheap vehicle. Why would you do such a paint job or lack of to your car? Come on man. Treat you car with some class. Makes me want to sale my SC. Btw, how's that Supra? Lol

From what I've been told the OEM black interiors don't have black headliners. It was a dull gray color. You'd have to spray it or wrap it.

There was never a black headliner, it either tan or grey. You gotta remove the rear upper trims and the front A-pillar to get to the headliner bolts. If you paint your headliner black, you gotta paint your sunroof bezel and your dome light black.

Even newer Lexus' have that grey headliner too. Try going to an auto interior shop and see how much they charge for a black headliner. I plan on doing black suede soon.
