Okay guys, I have wanted to change my carpet color for a long time. My car had hideous stained up tan carpet. 10 years will do that to a floor. After a battery tipped over and spilled acid all over my passenger side I figured it was time for new carpet.
I purchased used carpet off of Ebay but it was gray. (There are very few places to get my carpet for less than 500 bucks.)
After researching, I realized how incredibly little info was on the internet about changing your carpet color.
I watched this video and got hyped up originally...
Here's a close up of the fibers. It doesn't dry hard and tacky. Mine feels like carpet should feel like. In fact it is softer than my old carpet was lol.
It took about 30 minutes to dry and I was good to go.
I did not take pictures of me ripping out my old carpet. Mostly because it was such a pain and utter misery in 90 degree Louisiana heat. But after a days worth of work and a race to beat the the sun going down....
Here's the results.
I think it looks great.
I am not going to lie, the project was a pain when it came to ripping out the old carpet and putting in the new. I feel even worse for the people who have to take out their old to paint it and put it back in.
But on the bright side I got paid to do it. As I found around 20 bucks in change under my seats and what not lol.
Hope this helps you guys it, it's a good little project for someone trying to make their car look alot better but not having a huge pocket book.
