Default Carpet dyeing....

I really don't care for the gray carpet I have.
I'd rather not spend the $$$ for new at the moment. I want to go all black. Have any of you guys dyed yours? Did it turn out worth a s--t?

I have done 3 vettes......2 were beige, 1 gray, all dyed black. I used duplicolor spray gloss on the carpet, and spray flat on interior pieces. it was well worth it. Lemme look and see if I have any pics uploaded......

Something similar with the red is what I want to do also but on a smaller scale. Probably black Okolie seats with red piping and the C4 logo in red. Also the Lloyd's mats.

Thanks again! Much better pictures.

That's presicely what I did. My carpet was in good shape, just a faded out gray. So where my door panels. I went all black. This stuff will make your carpet look brand new. It also works on the door panels, sills, etc. Just use an adhesive promoter on plastics and vinyl before the paint.

With about 2-3 cans, you can completely restore your entire carpet, door sills, and both door panels.
