The sky is falling. I want to paint my headliner, and I'm looking to get a nice smooth factory-ish finish with a matt paint in light grey to match the interior.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I plan on spending a bit of time getting it right. I haven't done anything like this before so need a few tips.
My plan is:
- Clean off all the old crap
- Primer
- Fill the surface with something like Bondo or body filler?
- Sand
- Maybe a high build primer and more sanding?
- Paint
Questions:
- How smooth is the surface once the crap comes off?
- Can I sand the fibers in the fiberglass or is that not ok?
- Will a coat of bondo and sanding be enough to get it super smooth for painting?
- Is it possible to achieve a factory-ish finish this way?
