I dyed the headliner (off white) in a '55 post I built for a buddy... he wanted it silver to match the silver and black seats and doors. I masked the car off (it was gutted but still had windlace and glass) and sprayed it with the dye... three different ways - so there were no "holidays". It turned out perfect. I didn't expect it too and we were ready to do this with the expectations of ripping it out and getting one custom made. Figured nothing to loose trying to spray this one. Bingo - worked great and cost $50 instead of $500.
BUT -- it's not touched - and it's not sat on... and the headliner material is different than the seat and door panels...
If you have a automotive paint shop near you -- go talk to them about the PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS they have for the job... don't do the $1.99 cans of crap at Pep boys.
Figure it this way --- It's not the color interior you want - but a good careful dye job might make it servicable until you can afford to replace it.
