Behold the power of the spray can, I guess. Truth be told, the paint that was on the car, and that served as the background for my hatchet job, was no shiny clear coat or anything like that. It was pretty dull, which probably helped a great deal with adhesion.

If you're in the vegas area, it's only a weekend project. I am always down to help/teach.

you just need some bedliner in a can and some tape.tape off the whole light and use the biggest round thing that fits to trace.i used a quart paint can.take tape off of the light except where the circle is and spray with liner.just dust it at first and after about the the third dusting you can put thicker coats.let it dry for about a hour and then take rest of tape off.do all of this with lights out of jeep to avoid over spray

Hey it's better than having a headliner falling on your head... Just because the fabric design is ...different... doesn't make it any less of a repair.
