Re: Looking for new head liner.

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Texture aside (if there is any difference), I would think the ABS one would 
be a little more forgiving of rough treatment when installing. Durability 
wise, they're probably about the same once installed. The fiberglass one 
probably deadens sounds a little bitter but it's likely not enough to 
notice and you can always put DynaMat (or something like it) on the 
underside of the roof to kill noise. If you're coming to the Ed 
Anderson  show in Dayton on Saturday, you may want to pick Jeff Kennedy's 
or Doug Noel's brains about this.

You can paint interior parts with normal paint as long as a flex agent is 
added. There are also special interior dyes that are sold for this purpose. 
SEM makes really good products for interior parts (Smyth carries them 
locally). You do need to clean the parts very well before hand (each 
manufacturer makes their own surface prep and cleaner product) and make 
sure not to handle the parts with your bare hands after they've been cleaned.
