Also, allow good drying time in between each coat, that way by the time the last coat dries, it will be dry all the way through. If you don't, the bottom layers can still be wet with the outside feeling dry and you can end up with finger prints in the paint. For protection, throw about 3 or 4 coats of clear on it.
If you want to tacle the headliner yourself, it's not as hard as it looks. When you get the old material off, get some sand paper and get all the old glue off. Then cut your matetial to where you have about 5 inches of over hang all the way around. Spray the whole headliner with glue and let it tack up for about 5 minutes. Then starting in the center and working towards the back of the board, spray the back of the materialand gently apply pressure at the center working you way to the sides to keep from getting any wrinkles. Do this all the way to the back and then to the front. once it's done, let it sit for a few hours to tack really good and then you can go back and trim all the excess and cut any holes. Let it sit for a good 24 hours and then you can reinstall in the car. Just take your time and be patint with it and you'll have no problems. Just don't put to much pressure when applying the material or the glue will soak through and you'll have hard spots or you'll end up with indentions in it. If you have any questions once you get started, I'll help you anyway I can. I am pretty much on here 24/7. Good luck with it.

I'm gonna need to go shopping for paint in a couple of days. Also I'm thinking of just wrapping the material over the original headliner in case I wanna take it off. Like stapling it, would that be okay?
