Re: [FWDLK] 1957-1959 PLYM HEADLINER



My cloth headliner was physically in almost perfect condition but dull, discoloured and stained from water, presumably from window seal leaks.  I used Kilz Original Oil Based Stain Hiding paint, brushed on, two coats.  I had them tint it but it's not the intended base paint for their tinting system so it was a bit of try a few more drops of this tint and that tint till it was more or less what I wanted.  The first coat soaked right in. I gave it maybe half an hour to dry and did the second coat.  It took about 1.5 pints.  I didn't think I had enough left for a third coat or I would have done a third but with two coats it looks very good. It also made the old cloth much stronger, turned it into like a very very thin cardboard but you can still see the cloth pattern.  You're working upside down with a thin paint so you want to cover everything below against drips.  I used a foam paintbrush.

On my 2 door hardtop it came as an off white.  Just like Jim says Antigua white bone. I carefully removed any loose paint flakes and repainted my panels with krylon fusion paint. I believe the fusion paint was meant for cardboard, wicker and crafts. 
What have others used on headliners and odd interior pieces?
Thanks,
Joey

Having had over 60 57 and 58s, including many survivors, the original color appears to be consistent with off white (Antigua white, bone, lighter than 57 sand dune white) with gold drizzle pattern. For 2dr hardtops, 4dr ht, and wagons. Sedans had cloth headliners in many colors, including black with stars or some kind of dots
