Post subject:  dying the roof carpet (with pics)
I was just wondering.... instead of ripping the roof carpet out and struggling to get it back in again....

how easy to you recon it could be do spray/dye the roof carpet?

I want to make mine black :D not sure to spray can it black lol or something :bounce: obviously doing so covering other the widows and other panels up with newspaper and masking tape :)


your thoughts please :D

Its this stuff.

I bought 2 bottles for dying my carpet black so it would match the grey leather seats I got, but I didnt dye the carpet in the end coz I dyed the leather instead.
I have 2 bottles so you can have one each, all you'll need is a sponge to apply it with. Since its black you shouldnt get any blotchiness.
Say £8 for each bottle and that includes delivery!
If you're unsure about it working on the roof liner then email the eBay seller and ask him if it'll work.

Speak to Rob and Lisa about dying the seats...

As for the roof lining "if i jobs worth doing, do it properly" :D

Rip the bugger off and give it a good few coates. I'm sceptical about it taking one coat, and you'll only get pissed off and tired trying to apply it upside down in a small cabin :D

Holla!
Both your bottles were sent today. Biggsey, I think this product would do your sun visor https://www.usautomotive.co.uk/store/sc ... ategory=59 its what I used to dye the vinyl parts of my leather seats.

Hmmmm vinyl dye.... nice one dowzerr thanx for that, how coats did you put on ur seats?
Author:  dowzerr [ Fri Nov 02, 2007 12:09 am ]
Post subject: 
Only took a couple. It penetrates the vinyl so you can put it on quite generously. Just take your time and dont forget to mask the vanity mirror!

as for the roof carpet, i tried a little bit.... it ends up grey no matter how many coats you put on. Might need a thicker dye :?
