Your entire van is Primo. I would love to know how you did your ceiling. It looks like the stars in the night sky. I would love to do the same thing in my 74' Shorty. Do they blink off & on ?
Thank you!
The ceiling uses a fiber optic kit that I sourced through Amazon. It can twinkle or remain consistent, and it can change through the entire range of RGB colors. It's pretty versatile. For the sake of keeping them look the most like real stars, I leave them white and slowly twinkling when displayed.
Here is the link to the kit that I used:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016XZHQMA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1I ended up using some fiberglass paneling that I friend helped source for the headliner board, if I would have been thinking, I probably should have just used a factory headliner from a junkyard passenger van or similar, but live and learn I guess.. I covered the board in some faux suede headliner material and that's the end of the easy part..
I then drew a grid on the backside of the board and drew out the 800 dots where the strands would poke through. I drew the grid in order to keep the spread fairly even across the entire ceiling. my grid was about 12"x12" squares and then just make sure that each one has similar number of dots.. Anyways, after that, the process is just to drill a tiny hole and hot glue each strand into the board. After a week or so of working on that, you have a bunch of spaghetti across the too of the headliner that you will need to secure down (I used duct tape). And the bundle should collect at whatever point it needs to in order to go down the wall to the light driver box..
Once the headliner is installed, then you can trim all the strands up flush with the heardliner material..
Here are a few pics of my process, but there are several good videos of youtube showing other people doing it as well.
The panel with suede on it:
Here is part way through the process of routing and installing the strands:
And here is the finished ordeal installed before I trimmed up the strands: You can also see the bundle of strands going down to the light driver box just behind the driver's seat.
Hope this helps! It's a giant pain, but I think the results were well worth it.
