I use a vinyl spray From a can that I get from a local upholstery supply house. The product
name is Mar-Hyde . Comes in a can and the Off White is a close match for the small plastic interior pieces. I have used it on hinge covers, assist straps and sunvisors with good results. It works best on hot days. I have even overshot and made runs that flow out and disapear. I have not sprayed a headliner or part of one with this product, but it seeems feasable for touch up jobs with careful prep and masking. Make sure that you spray something not on the car to test it to see if you like the color and the way it looks. Good Luck. Philip Amon
