@bryceh5115 4 года назад

Looks good! Things I've learned over the years is start with a pack of powder with 2 gallons of water and 1 cup white vinegar and use that mix as a "primer" next you can switch to a bottle to get it black black. When done I suggest setting the dye with vinegar and then rinse the pad again. I have had mats bleed onto my shoes in higher temps..not Everytime but a couple times my shoe soles have turned black 😅

@RefineMovement 4 года назад

Oh nice, sounds like you’ve got a system worked out! Yeah that dye can get on everything doesn’t it haha

@tonywenzel 3 года назад

Can you elaborate on the vinegar usage? I definitely dont want this to bleed on my shoes.

@gary.richardson Год назад

I heard fabric dye sticks to higher pH treatments not acid. I plan to experiment to see which pre-treatment method is durable.

@Honderrez209 4 года назад

RIT works but I would spray some type of fabric sealer. The paint fades off when you step on it with wet shoes or spills. I went with black fabric spray on my ej1 this time see if it holds up better..

@danno4800 3 года назад

I did an aftermarket carpet in my 88 civic, and it was pretty good and not too hard to trim up, but definitely didn't like how it bubbled in some areas and didn't fit nearly as good as oem. I will donthis next time for sure. I think its worth however getting it professionally cleaned and steamed cleaned with industrial equipment. The cleaner it is, the better the paint sticks. I like how you used a garden sprayer. Good idea

@hurricanebob7058 Год назад

After taking the carpet out of the vehicle, and vacuuming it, take it to a laundromat and wash it once or twice in a big front-loader washing machine (the ones that large comforters are washed in). Use some odor eliminating detergent during the wash cycle. Then dry it gently on low heat. 🎇🌴

Do not do the aftermarket route. It does not fit right, trust me. It bunches up everywhere and looks like crap. Tried every way possible to make it work but it just never sat right. Traded my brand new aftermarket carpet for oem dirty carpet and going the dye route.

@goetzvg Год назад

Does the black colour rub off? Like how durable is the dye? l have read everywhere online, only wool or nylon carpet can be dyed and I believe all these modern carpets are all not dyeable, so concerned that the dye will rub off and make a mess everywhere. Any updates on how it's looking now would be great

the question is.. does it transfer/bleed color? will your shoes drag it out, stain your concrete? stain your house carpet/deck? what if your shoes are wet? i've considered this method but these ?s stop me.. I thin down acrylic craft paint and airbrush it on restorations of pre-war vehicles and its good, stays soft and perfect.. only its a week dry/air out time to feel confident the smell is out of it

AWESOME!!!! Looks a million times better wow! I'm so doing that to my disgusting eg carpet! Thank you for this walk through man, it's really going to inspire me and help me through this. Did you have to wipe the dye in after every coat or later to blend it all in? Can't wait to do this mod!

@RefineMovement 4 года назад

Giancarlo! thanks a lot dude! Yeah, for something so inexpensive and just requiring some prep work in cleaning it, it’s so worth while. I only wiped in the dye after the last coat. After all three bottles were sprayed down on it the carpet got more saturated with the dye, you know. So only at the end did I feel it was necessary to wipe the dye in to the fiber but see how it goes for you. Maybe you’ll feel you want to do it after each coat. Send me some pics on IG if you end up doing it man.

@noeaguinaga4018 Год назад

Negative, you don't have to cut the holes as severe as the factory does. And when you buy carpet for your vehicle it is molded to fit. I just did this on my 04 suburban. I was worried about the hole thing to do installed it cut the bolt holes into small circles and cut slits for under console. Installed console first... cut under it where it needed, only the minimum. That helps keep heat and cold in the car too. And then installed seats .. take it from there ya know
