Default headliner

tried something real cool today, even though im still buzzing from the fumes. i went and got a gallon of polysester fiberglass resin and coated my whole headliner. of course i took it out of the truck. after the second coat i have a sweet shell of a headliner. im gonna spray bomb it with that truck liner in a can so i dont have sand and prep all the imperfections in the resin after it dried. when im all done ill post some pics. i had about 45 bucks in it and i even did the sun visors too. just passing it along. oh and while im at it i also went to the local lumber store and bought that ice dam membrane for the roof valley and used it to seal my floorboards. it has a adhesive backing and a vinyl top barrier. after i applied it i used a heat gun to bond it to itself. i also ordered a vinyl molded floor to drop in for 127.00. let me know if anyone wants to tackle this themselves.

wow that was alot of work. it came out pretty nice, looks factory but it is a hard shell and fairly flexible. i didnt crack it putting it in. i sprayed it with 3m rubberized underbody and it stinks like hell. basically it looks like a bedliner, but i dont have to worry about the headliner coming apart anymore and what the hell its a truck not a pimpmobile.
