- Have you ever wondered how to restore the headliner on your vintage BMW?
In this video I take on the task of getting rid of my old grey headliner in my 1994 E34 touring and replace it with something a little more fresh. This was my FIRST time every doing this so unfortunately this is no an instructional video. But rather something to reference if you're also doing this job for the first time, maybe to inspire, maybe to laugh at. I'm cool with either. I had a lot of fun doing this and am overall pleased with how it came out! I appreciate you guys watching. Much love my friends!

This man said, "crushed red velvet" and my heart sank - definitely had me going lmao
Hahaha one day I’ll commit to something like that and watch you guys weep😭🤝
I was actually kind of disappointed to see it be normal, even if it definitely wouldnt have worked with the rest of the interior
The E34 looks amazing. If this isn’t the best looking E34, I’d love to see one that’s better
Haha thank you Henry! It’s getting there Forsure. I have some plans 😁
this guy has crazy talent on anything he does. truly love watching these videos
I really appreciate that Robert!
I freaking love how dedicated you are, the amount of pride and joy that is put in every project you do is amazing 👏🏻 happy to have you back after the long hiatus
Thank you my friend! Really here to try and get as good as I can at working on cars. That is all! Happy to be back!
Doing a headliner is not easy, even professionals that do it have that odd extra bit of fabric here and here but you’ve done a seamless job here, love it❤
Thank you Dillan! I’m excited for the next go at it on a different car
These types of transformations are so satisfying, a black headliner is the go to ❤ great video !
I agree man! Thank you for watching!
Why are you so skilled? Love everything about this channel, thank you man!
Haha thank you brother! This channel exists as a reason for me to learn different skills and hopefully inspire others. I hope it’s working bro!
@@ChromaticGarage it's definitely working, it inspired me to start detailing and messing with my e38. If one day I shoot a video, I hope it has half the quality of the ones you do! Can't wait for the next!
PS: Do you ship the shirts to Brazil?
Trolling with the crushed red velvet, I had to look ahead to make sure it wasn’t true 😂 sick job as always man!
Haha gottttttti. Thanks dude!🤝
Thanks. E34 touring is in my top 3 list. Great video
Thanks Trevor! I agree, good long car
Yet another classic! Such great work, such great editing 💯🔝
Thank you Raphael! Hope you have been good bro!
Bravo on the thumbnail. You still keep surprising. NICE.
Thank you friend! I had a lot of fun taking that photo haha
Nicely done! Great music choices.
Thank you my friend! Hope your summer has started great!
My boy is back, you killed it Mike!
Appreciate you! See you next week bro!
damn chromatic, every project you do is top notch. The car is looking so good
Haha thank you bro! Very happy with it so far
This car is one of my favourite builds on the internet, love the red and a part of me was hoping for a red tartan roof liner, maybe seat inserts, but I know that’s a lot, black is always a solid choice. Nicely done. But please get yourself a work table, seeing you work on the floor hurts my back.
Thank you so much my friend! It may get new seats very very soon😁
Always lookin like a G my boi
And I cannot get over how clean your edits are. Dude, 10/10.
If you’re watching this video you most likely have a stained or sagging headliner.
Looks around 😂 I have 2 Vehicles that need this done ASAP!
Once again great werk 👌 👊
Haha gotta get to atleast one of them bro! Thank you for watching 🤝🤝
This car is a thing of beauty!
Thanks man! I really love it
Im getting old but I just really like that table man😩 great & very skilled looking work, proud of you! 🫶🏻
Hahaha I also like that bro! You’re the man💛
More than a month of waiting is too much bro !
Great vid as usual
Haha my bad I was learning how to become more financially free and make more videos
Bro, I was sooo bummed when it wasn't actually crushed red velvet... Jk I was furious haha. Black headliner just looks so good on older BMWs, great job!
Hahaha maybe next time. Thanks for watching my friend!
Welcome back sir
Thank you my friend!
Thank you for blessing me with this today dad😩
Hahaha got you😎🚁
Another masterpiece, well done mate
I appreciate you! 🤝🤝
Awesome job!!! I just love this e34 wagon!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you my friend! We all love the wagons!
Very nice job! I did the headliner in my E36 touring a few years ago since it was hanging, new one I put in is also black. Nice result! Still haven't gotten around to painting the handles and sunvisors etc though..
Thanks man! That’s awesome. You’ve already done the hard part. But the painting will really set it off!
Need more e34 videos. Love it!
Soon my friend!
Did it 4 years ago on my e46 325 CI
And it took me 3 days with just to remove the foam)))
Hahaha an absolute nightmare! I know I have to do another car and I’m already dreading that part
Turned out Great!!!
Thank you Chris!
Looks killer man. I've got to do this to my E36 Touring soon too!
Thank you Scott! Absolutely rough thing to tackle but hopefully a one and done forever type deal
When your about to do 3 e36 headliners and chromatic drops a how to video 🎉🙏🤝
Hahaha 1 is enough. 3 is insane. Best of luck bro!
Nice asmr vibe bro
Appreciate you!🤝
Great video as usual.. It's so cool..Great music for anyone interested "Cornelio - Macumba" 😎
Thank you my friend!
Bravo from France 😍
Much love from Canada Michael!
Absolute cinema 👏👏
Thank you brother!
Wanna see what`s OEM ++ ? look Chromatic Garage....awsome work Mike, it looks amazing. Good to see a new Video from you...Greetings from Bavaria
Haha thank you so much Alex! I am going to move to Passau shortly!
Good job bro
Thank you brotha!
If you have any wrinkles light and quick steam or an iron.
Yessir! I was actually advised to just leave in the sun first and that tightened everything up. Hyped!
"hmm chromatic hasn't posted in a while... there will probably be a video soon... or not" - me 2 days ago
Haha I was busy trying to learn how I can make more videos faster😭
I need to do this on my e46.. for over a year now.. it just takes so long and good material is expensive
It’s honestly kind of a nightmare job. Can think of many many things I’d rather do before this again haha
@@ChromaticGarage ive done it on other cars with cheaper material.. for me the glue was the worst part, not forgeting all the tedious shapes to go around and not stretching it too much. Honestly you got lucky its not a full length headlines, they always crease up in the front center
Just the video I needed, how much fabric did you have to order?
This was 7 yards I believe. I made sure I had enough for some mistakes
How did you get the panel with the sunroof button to stay? Mine doesn’t want to stay in with the new fabric? Thanks
You can’t wrap your headliner fabric over the rigid metal sections that the clips retain themselves on. Beyond that I’m not sure what could be wrong
@@ChromaticGarage ahhhh that’s what the guy prob did. Thanks man, I’ll look at it when it gets back! Thanks g, love the vids
Long time no see
Busy busy busy! More time now 😁
i need to do mine but i don't feel like doing it lol
btw how big is your garage i need something like this !!!
💯

That thumbnail tho....any plans to open your own restoration shop?
Thanks Craig! Honestly probably not. Logistical nightmare. My goal is to be the most automotively skill diverse retail trader in the world
@@ChromaticGarage Well you are well on your way on that last part!!!

Appreciate you!

My friend!🤝
It's been a minute 😜
I hope you are doing well
You too Humberto! Much love
Paid 600$ for the material and them applied it with rattle can glue. Also the orientation of the cuted pieces wasn't the same for all of them . I hould say that you're making more bad than good.
-$600 is the cheapest thing on this car
-this glue was recommended by two people that have been doing this exact thing for longer than I have been alive
-the orientation is something I was curious about and will take into consideration next time. But it’s entirely unnoticeable in the car
the old glue resdue is the absolute worst thing in the world. it sticks everywhere, it smells weird and it stays on your hands for many days...
Dude yeah it won’t come off of anything! I hate it so much haha
Black on black on black. You could black out the wheels too. Red is not black either, how about painting chasis black too 😂
Hahaha not a terrible idea
You'll regret that material. The fabric will separate from the foam in like two years, and will be saggy again. Should've gone with a single layer material instead, like seude, leather or felt. I did mine in felt like six years ago, not a single sag on it since then. Also did my dad's with the same material as you and the same glue as mine, three years ago, and half of it is coming down and the car is sitting in a garage and is very rarely used...
I’m glad you had a good experience with the fabric you chose my man!🤝
The level of empathy and understanding shown by women here is a testament to our capacity for compassion.🍒
