Are you planning on top coating the POR 15? Since it's on the pan it won't be as big of a problem but it isn't UV stable & will get chalky.

I wasn't planning on it, but how chalky are we talking ?

[TDCTDI]

Like a dirty chalkboard. The great part about that shit is the fact that it's tough as hell, the bad part is that it's tough as hell. Not much sticks to it unless you scuff it & you'll wear yourself out trying to do that.

Just how crappy are we talkin?
I need to do the headliner in my car as well, but nobody within 100 miles will do it for me. I'd just like to get an idea of how bad it's gonna look when I do it, haha.
Would love to see some photos of it, don't be ashamed, lol.

The biggest problem with installing a headliner is the fact that after working so hard on the rest of the car & it's mechanicals, your hands will be transferring the oil that has saturated your hands when you're pulling, stretching, & holding a white piece of vinyl.
