We usually first send the quote for our usual service of headliner recovery, so you’d most likely already received that if inquiring through us for recovering your car headliner. Then if your interest in any pillar recovery work or total blacking out your plastic we would send you here to this page.
Sun visors we don’t recover or spray paint.
And spray painting plastics black we don’t do.
But if you’d like the pillars recovered in fabric, we usually do them at approx. $70 each pillar. All 6 would be a total of $420, and Turnaround time we would need the car for is approx. 6 hours for this additional work.
FULL BLACK OUT OPTIONS: We can do the headliner board in black, that’s no issue. Sunvisors we don’t do. Some pillars can be recovered in fabric to suit headliner, which we can do on most cars, and some pillars may require sewing equipment to recover them in fabric which is something we don’t do. So will need photos of all the pillars prior to see if they have a style we can recover. As for spraying plastics black we suggest 3 options, as it’s not something we do any more.
Option 1: You bring the car to us, and we remove the headliner, pillars, roof components, and let you know once removed for you to come back and pick up the removed components ready for your self to spray black, & drop off back to us once done.
Option 2: You drop the already removed headliner and/or Pillars for us to do the recovery stage only, and you do the removal and reinstall stages, which allows you time to spray paint the plastics at your own leisure, also drops the price as well as we would discount some coin off the total job if it was originally quoted up for us to do the removal and reinstall stages, usually brings pillar work down to approx. $50 per pillar instead of $70, depending on style.
Option 3: We do the full process, removal/recovery/reinstall. So recover your headliner in black, and pillars in black if you require, as most customers are just happy with headliner black only. Then put it all back together, leaving the contrast of any plastics/pillars still remaining that may be light grey for example.
Pillar recovery where possible (We suggest to recover these in #5 Anthracite black charcoal flat knit fabric, same as FGX & Holdens Black. As that way we can reuse the non foam backed fabric we keep that’s clean and came off other headliner boards for pillars to get that tight factory finish.
Otherwise using our new fabric stock is same price, but does have a foam back about 4mm that can’t be removed, so that gives a sponge effect to pillars, not usually ideal. I suggest the tighter finish with the old reused Anthracite fabric as we only use sections of offcuts we keep that are super clean.
A list of our fabric can be viewed here in this video
We usually just specialise in car roof lining recovery only. Recovering black on roof linings is no problem, as you get a choice of colours from our stock anyways. However we have done a few interior plastic spray jobs in the past & not something we offer because our concern is how long it lasts and can possibly scratch off easily, exposure to toxic chemicals, and paint supply issues. That’s why we don’t advertise it, and usually leave the process for customers to spray their own plastic components.
The Video below explains the process we suggest for blacking out plastics. In summary, wipe down with wax and grease remover, allow to air dry, gently warm up plastics with heat gun, shake can very well, spray even coats but light coats, approx. 2-3 light coats gets the job done, usually x1 can does all plastics except for pillars, thats requires more, but i usually suggest wrapping pillars in fabric instead where possible.
