How to Dye Car Carpet

In this video I'm using RIT synthetic dye to dye my the carpet in my car from light tan to dark grey. Usually this application is used for bringing a faded color back to original, but it worked just fine for me. Most automotive carpets are made from a synthetic material, so make sure to use the correct dye for your application.

I used a kiddy pool to dye the carpet in my 89 mustang from beige to black turned out great. The dye I used was from Walmart also but it was a powder.

Wow Alex😮 Great video!😄 I’ll be sure to try this ASAP!😃

[@katsku11]

maybe a dumb question but does the water have to be boiling hot or can it just be like fossette hot ive seen a couple videos where they boil the water first

[@alexsgarage1]

Instructions on the bottle of dye say to boil the water, mine weren’t consistently boiling but got it as hot as I could

How is it holding up after a few months?

[@alexsgarage1]

Hasn’t faded or worn color, would recommend having floor mats to prevent long term wear

Can I just use a shampooer and add my dye to the water and do it like that instead

[@alexsgarage1]

I guess this would work if you’re trying to knock out two birds with one stone, you’ll still have some hand work to work it into the carpet and edges. I would try and see if anyone else has done something similar before potentially ruining your carpet.

@@alexsgarage1 that’s true I also didn’t think abt the splashing like if it gets on a piece of plastic in the car or wtv, thanks for the reply I was totally abt to do that without thinking 🙏🏽🙏🏽😂
