Joey are you sure spray paint won't flake off? I was thinking spray paint would be simple, but would it flake off?

Thanks for that link, Justin.

When I first get a vehicle I always pull the seats and carpet out and spray them down with a good carpet cleaner and give them a good scrubbin..

Then I toss them in the back of the truck and run them down to the car wash and spray them down with the high pressure soap setting... Basically you just want to power wash the living crap out of them...

Then I drag them over to the vaccum and suck up all the water I can...

After that, I run my hand over the carpet fluffy it up, then I let it dry over night installing it the next day.

Not only does it get all the stains out, it gives them that new car fluffy and smell... :happy055:

Why not hit a few junkyards?

Dye might work but it sure seems like MORE work than just finding a new carpet @ the junkyard...

Spray paint works wonders!! Just make sure you use all the same sheen, might look funny

EDIT: However, that carpet dye is not all that expensive(thought it would be more, should have looked first)
