Bill,

I haven't tried painting the flocking on the ceiling and I wonder if it really is possible. The paint probably would turn the fuzz into a solid surface.

An option is to line the roof with boat hull liner fabric. It comes in a range of colours. I know of two vanagon owners that have done this and the result is pretty nice. I did something similar on my pop top. I didn't use hull liner fabric but rather some inexpensive carpet. It was very thin carpet, pretty close to hull liner thickness but it did not have the 2 way stretch that the hull liner stuff has. The lack of stretch did come back to bite me during the install - I didn't manage to get it on completely wrinkle free.

I have some pics of my attempt here:
