my interior is already brown i want it to be black with red carpet

 

I ordered a pre-molded carpet kit from jc whitney that worked out well. I had to trim it up a bit but once installed it looks great

 

how much did that cost you and was it all in one piece

 

I dont remember how much it was but i think it was 200 or so. It was all in one piece which made it kind of a bitch to put in(required lots of trimming) but in the end it was worth it. its pretty thick material and feels real durable and its also real soft if u like to drive in bare feet

Well, the best and cheapest option is this,

1. Pull your old carpet.

2. Clean Steam clean and clean some more.

3. Go to Autozone and buy some dupli-color fabric & vinal dye, its in a spray can.

4. and spray your capet with thin coats.

5. Steam clean. let dry and dy again if desired and the steam clean.

6. and re install.


OEM fitment with color and for the cost of about $20 (3cans)

its just going to take a couple days for the work. mostly drying time. (Hang it outside to dry)

other than that, sry cant help you. Doin my carpet with that stuff and its amazing. but I'm doing black.

 

my friend did that dye stuff to his carpet in his truck and i thought i came out being too rough and hard

 

not sure what he used but this stuff worked,

Dupli-color fabric and vial spray,

Check it out




Well, either way good luck,

 

damn i might as well just spray it then

 

yeah dude, I mean alittle bit of time, and $20 could save you alot of money

And hey, it you dont like it then its only a $20 mistake,
you could prolly sell the carpet for that, it'll look good enuf for $20.

 

here is the stuff,

Make sure to buy prolly 3 cans to start out with, if your doin red. its going to be just abit harder to get it a nice even coat. Black covers everything.

Its like $5 a can. Good luck finding it. I drove for 3 hours and hit up 5 or so Autozones, 5 or so Advance auto parts, and 5 or so Oreily's just to get these, Even walmart was out of stock
Gloss black is crazy hard to find, the red wasnt as hard.

 

thanks bro i wont have trouble finding it i live in south florida and ive seen that so many times at the discount/advance but thanks for the pic and wut to use

i might have to get a couple more cans since im trying to go from brown to red

 

well, Just buy one can, and do one area, dont wanna buy 5 cans only to find out it doesnt dry to the exact red you want

 

you can try password jdm!!!! They have great deals!!!

 

i'd like to see some pics of anyone that used the red spray please. but with the black i heard it's hard and rough for alittle bit, then it'll set in. but that's what i've heard, i haven't done it yet.

 

well im gonna go for doing the red on brown carpet so i'll post some pics on here but your gonna have to give me about a week or so cuz im in maryland and im driving down to florida this week in my rebuilt da so gotta take it easy which i just bought plus i gotta build up a new engine setup which i will probably make a thread about. i also probably make a new thread about the carpet

Does the carpet stay soft like stock or it does it turn kind of ruff?

 

well my friend did his carpet a while back right before he sold his truck and it was kinda of ruff but i think with some breaking in it will soften out. well since my carpet is brown i told my dad about it and he gave me the idea of bleaching the carpet just enough to where it can be able to spray red with no problems

Did your buddy use the same stuff as the cans picture? Bleaching it probally would help out alot, just dilute it so it doesnt ruin it or anything. Good luck, post some pictures when you decide to do it.

 

Well, My carpet right after spraying and it dried, it was sorta like stock.

Problem is, I rubbed the carpet and alittle of the black dye came off. it was dry but it did come off.

But, I think this is just the excesive dye that was sprayed.
But only time will tell. But still, I'm using rugs so I dont have to worry much about the carpet.

I'll throw the rugs in the trunk when I go to Meets and shows etc....

I did spray my rug, and it came out real hard, but my carpet came out soft.

I did spray red and here is what it lookes like.

The red didnt stick very well becuase I sprayed the black first, so I dont like how it came out,

I'll get a pic up lter tonight
