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

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.
