I recently did a build where I recovered a headliner in a 1996 Ford Explorer with Suede. I left the existing material in place and covered over it because the headliner started ripping apart when I tried removing the old material. I used an adhesive called Camie 303 Spray adhesive. Very good stuff and goes a long way.

i did micro suede in my door panels, hatch pieces and hatch floor and just used

hi 90 3M spray adhesive. hard to find the stuff at stores; bought mine from a dealer on ebay that shipped quick, had good quality stuff. used thicker stuff for floor and thinner for the rest so that it wouldn't be too heavy for like the top hatch pieces or pillars

If you use the nytek nova suede you can get it foam backed. You are looking at $90 a yard for this stuff but it is worth it. Cheap or "street" suede fades very easy and not as easy to work with as nova suede.

You can go to Jo-Ann Fabarics and pick up some but it is cheap micro suede.

Yeah, they have a nice selection of colors but if you box has alot of hard contours then it will not work as nice.

na not too many hard corners its a 40"X16"X16" box I want to wrap it in a dark blue or a true blue suede, either that or I want to wrap it in this marine blue snake skin leather that iI found but if I were to do that then I would have to save up a bunch of money

I use weldwood contact cement, not as fast as a spray adhesive but that shit is not peeling off without a fight.
