I'm also wanting to paint my fabic seats as well (red center and black outside cushion) what paint should i use for these applications (fabric paint from O'Riellys?)

paint makes the material hard, wouldnt do yoir seats with it, headliner ok. Take out your front seats, drop headliner, turn sidways, pull out through the passenger side front door

how hard is it to pull out the seats and the headliner?

[cobalt123]

depends on how patient you are. i painted my headliner without taking it out...

you could do this but be careful of the fumes... you will want the windows rolled down and the doors open. take trash bags and cover everything (EVERYTHING) except the headliner...use painters tape the hold the bags down. use a respirator to avoid inhaling the fumes and just go at it with the duplicolor fabric paint. that is a lazy way of doing it. so long as you tape/cover everything it will work but the best thing to do is take it out so you can see any uneven parts the shadows overlay.

Could you post a pic or two of your headliner?

Thanks

Tape off the windows too around the edge when you do it. I hear that stuff is a pain in the ass to clean off of a window.
