Wonder if anyone has done this before or can advise me
I have brown carpet in my car but I was thinking if I can die it black?
Is this possible or can anyone help me.

yep, www.valeterspride.co.uk is where you get the dye from.

Buy a little plastic spray bottle like used for watering house plants, fill that with the dye and then spray on the carpet, may need to use an old scrubbing brush to agitate the carpet fibres and get the dye to seep in. Remove the carpets first though.

Can it get done with the carpet still in the car and will it be okay?
