I used a material specifically for headliners from AUTOTRIM called quicksilver. It has a foam backing already bonded to it and has a fair amount of give to go around corners. It can also be painted with Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric paint, then after it dries you just brush it out with a stiff bristled nylon brush. I recommend trying a sample first as the color will look different on different materials. I used a silver, which on nonabsorbent material is bright silver but on the headliner it has a darker silver, almost pewter, look. It isn't hard to do but you need 2 people when attaching the material to the shell. Look at one of the videos on Utube. Oh, and use the correct adhesive, I used 3M headliner adhesive.
