never heard of carpet paint just dye and i think paintng your carpet would def mess it up.

I sprayed my entire carpeting with Duplicolor's Vinyl&fabric spraypaint (black)
It fades in the spots where you step on it the most, but floormats make it all better.

it should cost no more than $180 shipped on ebay, brand new, any color.

i don;t recommend painting any fabric.

yeah, I don't really recommend it for a nice car either. I painted my interior in my 4Runner with the Dupli-Color spray and while it looks nice at first, it wears really fast if you actually use the vehicle. The vinyl/plastic parts look alright, especially if you clearcoat them after, but you can't clearcoat carpet so it'll just wear out. Oh, and for me it was like $6 a can and took like 25 cans to do the whole interior properly (it was an SUV so maybe less for a car) so it takes a while and costs a fair bit. Better to buy some of that OEMish Ebay molded carpet replacement. I plan to do that when I Dynamat the floor.

Why would anyone want to change out a burgundy carpet? :P

[honda92ex]

the best way to go is to dye it. i painted mine and it looked goog but made it stiff and alot of spray paint.

Hey peeps, couple of you memntion to "dye" the carpet instead of painting it. What's the process of dying the carpet, where you go to do it, and how much would it cost? Thanks, bye.

I dyed my grey carpet black with tie -n - dye paint dye which came in can but it wasnt spray paint. Its faded a little in certain areas but it has help up pretty well for 2 years. I will be buying a different type fo carpet dye in the near future or just fork out the cash and get a brand new black carpet from ebay. DONT use regular spray paint on your carpet...you have been warned.

I sprayed my carpet and it looks like sex. Straight sex.

However there are some pros and cons:

Pros: Fast, pretty cheap, Looks good in low traffic areas.
Cons: Carpet is stiff, wears out in heavy traffic spots (like the divers side near the pedals)

They have a site that sells replica factory carpet for around 130 or something like that if not cheaper depending on what you want. I need to find the site I need to order some black carpet from them =D.

i dont remember tha website but they do have pre molded carpets, painting the carpet seems like a quick temporary fix, doin it right would only cost a few hundred...
