Carpet

I found a company on eBay who was selling a surplus carpet kit for my Barracuda. I got if for a very low price and shiped it over. It look's to be very well made and includes all the pieces including the trunk carpet. The only thing is the kit is red. I'm not that bothered about that just now but the carpet should be black but beggar's cant be chooser's right? As the car's a bit tatty now it wont realy matter but when I get my respray in its Original Dark Met Green It will look silly.

Is there any way to dye the carpet and make it black? If so How?
Cheers Dudes!

I'm not sure on that one, theoritically you should just be able to machine Bananarama! right?!?

but will the carpet sections fit in the machine?

Hair dye

works everytime, I prefer the non ammonia types as I can't breathe with ammonia in the car

Clairol is good, you get little gloves and everything

make sure it is permanant LOL the girl at the chemist didn't want to sell it me coz she said I would not suit black hair

OR!

Do the seats read to match the carpet and paint the car black. I love black cars with red interiors me.

Quality idea Alex! Is that what you have done in the past or a wind up?

I like your idea too Dave but I realy wanna paint the car in it's original colour whan I get the chance. I like Black interior too though so thats OK.

Out of interest Alex how much Hair dye ar we talking here? I bought the carpet set for ?37.00 so I reccon I got a bargain.

'Tis true

dunnow how much LOL I have 'fixed' bleached patches with it, did the tunnel hump and part of the rear floor on me Road Runner coz it is the original carpet and I wanted to keep it ! I also did the part of the capret on the Dart Dean owns now, ask him if he can figure out where ! I would guess maybe 3 bottles to do a whole carpet? use your nifty free gloves and massage it in, very therapuetic !(sp
