I know you can replace these new for $115 at VP.

But with 2 cans of Krylon flat spray paint for PLASTIC, you can turn your headliner and visors into a new condition. The painted vinyl surface is durable, pliable and smooth to touch. Other 40 yr old white plastic parts that are crumbling will benefit from a coat of this plastic paint(consider the gloss plastic paint). Also see new cheap plastic sun visor clips now on eBay.

Complete taping of lower interior is best accomplished in stages, front and back. Have a bit of laquer thinner around for clean up of overspray. Surface prep of the headliner was minimal.

Taping, painting and clean up can be accomplished in 5 hours. The appearance is now showroom clean. A real eye popper in an old car.
