So I finally ripped my sagging headliner out and decided to just spray the fiberglass board with Dupli-Color bedliner. I've seen it done on here and I liked the look, plus I'll never have to worry about another sagging headliner or that stupid foam every again.

I also decided to paint my overhead lights and speaker grills to match. Just have to recover my sun visors at some point.

Gotta say that looks pretty boss. If one of my jeeps didn't come with a brand new headliner and overhead console I would do this is a heartbeat.

Wonder if it'll hold heat in the summer...?

It was pretty bad for a while, lol.
I asked my friend when he got in, "Does it still smell like paint in here? Cause I can't tell anymore" and he said YES. So maybe I am still buzzing, haha.

Thanks for all the compliments. The hardest part is getting all the foam off the fiberglass and prepping it.

So I have this bad habit of listening to my iPod through my speakers while I work on my truck, and despite reading all the posts about hitting a wire while taking your headliner out and shutting off all interior power...I still did. And yes I blew two fuses while unhooking my vanity mirrors and had to listen to music on my phone the rest of the time. Oops

* Whenever you are doing anything to your truck, always disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

Somebody told me to put a cup of vinegar in there to remove the smell.

I said, I'm sure it would, cause it'll just smell like vinegar then, lol

Has anyone done that though?

I did the same thing. Was so tired of the liner flopping on the top of my head. The odor was strong for a couple weeks but I think it's pretty much gone now. I did it about 3-4 weeks ago. Never tried vinegar or anything else I just kept the windows open a little. One thing I realized after the fact is that while reaching and scraping my knuckles across it, it is really rough and unforgiving.

I used that vinegar trick in my new apartment about a week ago. Just set a bunch of small bowls of it around the place. It pretty much absorbs nasty smells. It smelled like vinegar for a day afterward but once that went away, the nasty smell was gone too. I'd say try it out

Baking soda works well too. Open up a box and set it somewhere it won't fall over it will suck up the smell. Used it to get rid of the smell of dead rats in a neighbors trailer that afternoon smell was gone.

Cool, I might try the baking soda to prevent any vinegar from spilling, cause that would create a whole other problem, lol
