No because its like dye, not paint. Its made specifically for fabric and vinyl.

And yeah the duplicolor stuff is great, highly recommend it for interiors.

this is great stuff i used on my carpet and it lasted about a year. it NEVER rubbed off on anything but it started fading again. just a heads up CLEAN the surface real good BEFORE you paint/dye and it should last longer.

sorry, don't have no pictures. i ditched it for a new carpet last year. you couldn't see it unless it was bright out, but it looked like a damn cow with uneven fading spots.

i think it would be better if they were cleaned first... then... restore the color with a spray or something.... that doesn't look "good" yet...
