Carpet is out, and looking to dye it black.

It's grey at the moment, I was going to originally use:

But someone who has used this has said to stay well clear as his grey carpet ended up a dark blue.

Black dye in a aerosol can was suggested, something like this:

Any advice? As carpet is out, has been wet vac'd and i'm looking to dye it this weekend.

Thanks

I used Valeters Prime black carpet dye...might be similar to the first link you posted. Just put it in a spray bottle and used a sponge to dab it in. Took a few coats and take a while to properly dry but the end result was good. Well worth a weekends worth imo!
