I had asked this question a couple years ago but went another route so I'll ask
again.  Has anybody stripped off the contact paper panel/headliner coverings and
painted the panels?  I glued cloth over some but was hard to keep clean.
Anybody ever put soft headliner material on their headliner wood panel?  Any
suggestions as to what kind of paint?  Should I paint it to look like wood
grain?  Just trying to figure out a winter project.

 BTW I just made new curtains for my westy for a total cost of about $20.00
(didn't include windshield curtain as it was fine).  Bought 5 yards of matrial
from the bargain bin, used the permanent iron on hem stitching (Stitch Witchery,
no sewing).  My curtains hang from a thin strip of metal, no curtain hooks so
all I had to do was make a rectangle with a big folded over to slip the metal
strip thru.  Took a couple hours though, look good.  Snaps were grommetted on
just like the originals.  I did put a few stitches on each corner just to make
sure they held up to tugging.
