Cheap way to change carpet color

[GeneralCodyLee]

Want to know a quick and cheap way to dye your carpet for your car?
Go to Publix and purchase a box of rit dye.

What you need:
Box of Rit dye
Spray bottle
Water
Gloves, so you don't dye your skin
Rub in what you spray as well...
and thats it

Pull your carpet out, and mix your rit dye with water, and spray on your carpet. Now it depends how deep you want your color... it took me three bottles to go from dark blue to black. Also rub in what you spray.. so be advised it will take some time. and at first the carpet will be "crunchy" but it will take time to get that out, its fine!

Edit: For anyone who doesn't live in Florida, you can pick Rit dye up at any Walmart, it's in the laundry soap aisle. You can get it in powder and liquid form.

There's already a DIY on here that summarizes an extensive guide found on a different Honda forum. It includes pictures as well.

I've noticed you're making a pretty strong push for 30 posts and doing so by asking questions easily found with the search function and posting comments redundant elsewhere in the respective threads. Your post count can be easily reset if you post whore your way to 30 posts.

Use hot water and add a bit of salt and it works better. I've never pulled the carpet out to dye it. Just the seats and trim panels.

id try using the rit dye and mix it in a solvent like alcohol or lacquer thinner, itd probably dye vinyl this way too

I never tried to dye Vinyl, would you have to sand it down? If so, would the texture stay the same?

No sanding just cleaning and degreasing. They have vinyl dye in a rattle can not to be confused with that plastic paint

Wow, what a idiot! You don't do this shit in your house, do it in the garage or driveway. I did it on my front lawn, and it dyed the grass black. You figure people have common sense when you post these things on the internet, but they don't.
