Default Suede Headliner

I finally sueded my headliner, A/B and C Pillars about a week ago and while taking some pics of the white LED ac unit I also did, I snapped two quick pics of the headliner. I know it's not everyone's style...





I will try and get some better pics during the day also.

I was thinking it would look nice...and it does. Is the gray a little darker or is it the way the pic was taken?

The color is Graphite and it matches the gray on the inside door trim perfectly.

Yes I did do this myself and 12 yrds should be enough to do two cars, lol. I ordered 5 yrds and I have about half a yard left or so. Also depends on if this is your first time doing something like this or not, will determine how much scrap you have left or if you have to rewrap a piece.

Thanks man and yes I did it myself. I do work at a custom shop that we occasionally suede headliners and pillars but we do a lot of audio and interior work that we either paint, suede, or vinyl the pieces.

Haha, thanks man! I actually wiped it down after I took the picture so it was all in one direction. Maybe it's about time I get a suede brush, lol!
