Try cleaning it and if you dont like how it turns out try painting it. If you dont like that just recover it.
i highly recommend you dont clean with any water or cleaning solution. i guarantee you will end up with a saggy stained headliner.
your best bet is to probably just paint it. but if you absolutely have to clean it, use minimal amounts of water. it is attached with a glue, and i have many horror stories on the detailing forums im on about headliner cleaning screw ups.

hard to clean it without some sort of cleaning solution don't you think?
Try 303 Cleaner & spot remover. Works great on headliners. Just don't over saturate. In fact very little product is needed.
Don't know about painting it, but I have seen several DIYs on recovering them and it seems very easy.

My headliner is stock grey and doesn't really flow with my interior. I was wondering about the same thing. Looking forward hearing about your experience KrayJay and seeing some pictures.
Anybody else painted thier headliner?? Post pics please.

The pics look Great. What paint are you using?? Any Tips??
I used duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint. I used about 4 cans for the entire job. You're going to want to take all the side plastic pieces out as well as the headliner. Its not hard...it just takes some time. Prep time should be focused on the plastic. No sanding is needed, just make sure they're clean. The headliner is straight forward.

haha thanks for the idea! im getting sick of my stock gray and brown look (puke)
now to get my windows tinted and get a simi dark black/ greay tone going
also think it would work with seats? just a thought?

Very nice .. I want to do this as well your color is really close to perfect . what color is it ?
So i know what to buy . is it just black or something more custom
you have a p5 so you have the large hatch to remove the headliner us sedan owners wont have the luxury
yep the hatch definitely made it a lot easier to remove. also, the color I used was the flat black duplicolor vinyl and fabric spray. you can find it at your local auto parts store.
