Do a search on "carpet" and "dye". There are several old threads comprehensiviley covering this including what you need, pics and techniques.
I did exactly what you proposed to my Chromie and it came up really well.
The main issue is what type of carpet - won't work with newer polypropylene carpets, only older nylon "cut pile" type.
If you can't find the threads, let me know and I can dig them out
