Mine's sort of furry inside. I wouldn't want to paint it.
Maybe you could reline it with some sort of felt material glued in place?

I know that flock (the interior material) is available loose in bags but I don't know where you'd find it.

Flock you can get from almost any good model shop or somwhere like 'FOCUS'
You line the inside with glue, pour in the flock then shake it all about!! Then pour out the surplus flock and let it dry.
We used to have a sunbeam alpine that had a fibreglass roof with flock on the inside. The only problem with it was that if you rubbed it it would all come off!!!!
I don't know whether this was down to bad glue or whether that is what flock is like?
Choice is yours!

Had some painted one's once in a Minor and they looked terrible! They were brilliant white though which could have been the problem!

Neither do I Dave and I like the sort of tickling sensation when the back of your hand brushes against the correct type

I bought a pair from Newton Commercial years ago, they are still looking good. Don't know if the quality has been maintained.

I replaced the liners in Phyllis a while back.
The old ones were warped, the flocking was wearing off, and the just generally looked shabby.
The new ones (original type cardboard) looked much better, although they too are beginning to warp and look a little strange after the dreaded wet stuff started getting in through the wiper spindles. :?
The plastic ones would have avoided that, but then I wouldn't have known that there was a leak.

getting a foot bath when testing the wipers was the hint I got as to why only one of the screen washers was actually washing
still at least I got a chance to get intimate with my moggy early on, though the liner did not look too clever when it had dried out, but I have my eye on some material to stick on the inside of them
