Anyone know where to get a grey sunshade?

I've disassembled the whole sunroof in an attempt to repair the sagging liner. Unfortunately, the 3M spray glue that I used bled through the grey fabric liner (it was compromised from detaching from the glue initially due to moisture) and it ended up looking 10 times worse. I just have to bite the bullet and buy a new one. I guess an option would be to remove it, scrape/sand it clean, and then spray paint it.
Did you allow it the spray to tack up 1st? I've repaired and replaced a few headliners--what a pita--they're not hard to do, just tedious. Doing your sunshade will be easy, just gotta get it out 1st. If you can figure it out, just peel off the old, use a steel brush to get off the old sponge and glue. They to make it as smooth as possible because whatever is left behind will show through the new material. Grab the 3M headliner spray. Spray both the shade cover--don't spray it heavy, spray it evenly--let both the headliner material and shade cover tack up for a few minutes. Once they're both tacky--not still wet--then put them together. It's better to have someone help you to apply the material because once you set them together that's it! If you have a wrinkle in it you CANNOT move the material again once its laid down, the small spongy backing will pull away from the headliner material and it'll be ruined. It's a 1 shot deal.
Def check out the process on YouTube, just to give you an idea of what to do. It really is an easy process once you know what to do.

Yeah I figured it was discontinued. I can find the beige ones on eBay but no pewter.

I can try to redo mine again but I won't be able to use the fabric. It's far too damaged.

If you still have a Pep Boys, they sell headliner material there.
