Sorry, couldn't help myself!

Planning on doing this myself, you can fill it in the spray bottles (bought a 2 pack from poundland) and a couple of light coats should do it. Can't be arsed to take the whole carpet out so will spray it while still in the car.

Seen a couple that eko has done using this technique and carpet dye and they have always come up really nice.

My touring has black carpet baur320 (Mick) dud it before I bought it off him looks great

A twenty year old carpet will be filthy! You're just dyeing dirt.
Really needs to come out and be jet washed first.

Would really like a black carpet in my next car

yeah i wet vac'ed my interior and the water in the return tank was like grey paint!brought the colours out a treat!

i would do this first before the dying as brian said!

Did my carpet with black carpet dye a while back for my 325 sport, i took the carpet out washed it well using a jet wash let it dry then used a 5 litre tin of black dye from ebay about 20 quid, i used an ordinary spray bottle and did about 2-3 coats and noticed it turning purpleish once dry so i did another coat this time agitating it in with a big paint brush, seemed to work better however... I found that trying to rinse the loose dye off after id let my last coat dry took most the dye off so it was back to square one in a way, so i did the process again then threw it back in the car without rinsing and its stayed a good black colour now for3 months and ive not had problems with my shoes getting stained just make sure each coat gets agitated in in my opinion

can you get red dye of this site?
