Hi all,
I’m looking for some feedback from anyone that has tried dyeing their carpets in recent years.
The carpet in question is the walnut brown color from an 88 Spider.
As you know, the carpet is rather large and not easily fit into a container to soak it in.
So my cousin (whose car it is), even asked about sponging the dye, or spraying the dye, while still in the car. The interior is already stripped apart.
I have read a couple of the threads on the BB, but looking for any other info, ideas, etc. that are out there.
RIT appears to be a common brand of dye used.
I will admit, we are not expecting perfection, but a significant improvement would be nice. Some of the areas have turned a little orangey looking.
If all else fails, he can buy a new carpet set (it is his money, not mine). But for the sake of a few hours, we figure why not.
Attached is a pic of the carpet in the car, and some sitting on the shelf in the background.
Thanks,
