Default Headliner Replacement

I have looked around online searching model, year to get the cloth for the headliner. The color is a light gray color. I would like to keep the color as close as possible. I have searched several websites for this material but saying light gray doesn't always mean it may match. I have also thought about maybe cutting off a piece hanging down and maybe trying a local hobby place to see if I can get a better visual of what I would be buying compared to online. I am pretty comfortable doing the replacement and using a high temp glue since I live in Fl. Once I can complete this. Then down the road, I will replace the floor carpet. That is going to be easy since they go by model and year but the headliner cloth doesn't seem to fall under some information.
Is there a color code that could help or is it more by eye? I'm sure someone has went through this before.

Upholstery shops should have books that should what color headliner materials where available for a given model year. You can also try contacting this vendor to see if they can find a match for you - https://www.ebay.com/itm/293056693783

StockInteriors dot com. Does molded carpets, full headliners and DIY fabric. Used to send out color samples of headliner material. I have one.
Good service, good prices.
If you choose to recover the 'liner yourself, don't weak out on scraping the old crap off. Layer of dead foam and glue will just peel under your new adhesive, leaving baggy spots especially at the edges.
Their molded carpets for Dodge trucks and muscle cars are made in the US of f***in' A.

Thanks guys. I did finally find a place called Moonlight Headliners. They are sending me a couple of samples to compare. Yeah going to scrap everything clean before applying new adhesive.

I used a rotary nylon brush on a drill to clean all the crumbs off the backer… careful not to go through the backer, it’s not that thick.

Thanks for the advice. It helps. Waiting for some samples to match up with current color. I was planning on a scrapping it. I know it takes more time but I'm in no rush.

Take a look at my posts from this one through early September, for pics of my headliner resto job.

Might be a dumb question but where did you get that brush? I don't remember seeing that type anywhere. I always see the steel type.
