well i was wondering if the glue will bleed through certain materials, cause i was just going to go to a fabric shop in the area and see what they have in clearance thats a gray color.

it won't bleed through if applied correctly. less is more with contact adhesive. as far as material I would reccomend using auto or marine grade only.

spray the glue out of a gun and apply only dust coats so it will not bleed

Tweed will definately be easier to sculpt flames or whatever you want in the headliner. Use 1/4" landau top pad (also called closed cell foam by some) to layout the design on the CLEAN headliner board. Use a hi-temp landau top adhesive type glue. Dap sells a great one for this, and spray both the back of the tweed and the board. It is a contact cement meaning the two will bond together. The glue should be tacky, not wet when you bring the two pieces together. Suede can show bleed thru if the glue is too heavy. One can should be enough for the average board.
