painting carpet?
Tuesday, January 24, 2006 10:19 PM
i was wondering if anyone has done this. I have a lime green car and i have found lime green carpet for about 150.00 (not bad).... but i want to paint the carpet liner in my trunk so i would like the carpet on the inside of the car and the carpet on the inside of the trunk to match. So can anyone give me any good information on how to do this? or any kindas of paint? thank you

You could try die. But chances are it won't match. Your best bet would be to buy two sets of carpet and cut one up to fit the trunk.

My brother used the spray-able dye. He used black though, Im not sure if lime green would show over the black, although it is more of a paint than a dye....so I wouldnt doubt that spraypaint would work. I would cut off a small piece of the carpet in the trunk where you dont see it (like where it goes down into the spare wheel area) and paint it and see if it turns out how you want it. Good luck!

hey you could spray the trunk in primer (white, or gray), and let that seat so that the lime green would show up better than if you apply directly on the carpet

it does seem to be happening allot.

just incase anyone is intrested in this, the places that sell the carpet can sell you extra carpet to go along with it so it will match.
