    First you need to peel the old cloth



    Then you need to strip the foam remnants. The easiest way is to use a cupped wire brush in a drill on slow. That way you run the least risk of damaging the fiberglass layer underneath



    Next I used panelboard to extend the rear sides and fill the handle holes



    A skim of filler



    I usually lay the cloth on the headliner card and fold it back. Gluing half at a time (pro-tip, a good upholsterer will lay the suede in a “waterfall” with smooth going forward and down), stick it then glue the other half



    The tape is for where you don’t want adhesive. It’s ok to float small areas where there’s defects



    The trick is to be really light on the glue. Glue both halves, let it COMPLETELY dry and then spray a little bit on one half (usually the card). If you put too much adhesive on when you’re installing you can compress the foam and it’ll look “cottage cheesey”





    Installing

    x2 on a nice, warm white being the perfect color. I don't think an Alpine variant would suit it right.

    Still gonna go out on a limb here though...

    Grigio Medio!



    I love grey. My daily is grey.



    But, the car I’m really trying to not to be mistaken for looks like 1000 different colors depending on light. Including grey.



    So, I’ll probably pass on grey. As much as I like it.



    Here’s my top twelve choices for a white. Six of those are the variants of two colors.

    If you are going to go with alpine white consider the later version, Alpine White 3.

    White cars are clean cars, it would tie everything else in nicely as well.
