Paint for Carpet?
Hey again. One more question, well, for now....
The carpeted kick panels and door trim panels in my '66 are badly faded but otherwise in great shape. Is there a paint of some kind for these that won't make them brittle?
Thanks again,
Ridin

You would really need a dye for carpet, but I guess you could try a vinyl spray like is found at a shoe shop, and brush it real good after it drys. Or you could get the dye and use a refilable arasol spry can ( if you don't have air) like they sell at harbor freight for about $5 bucks.

Find some Ritz dye that matches the color of your carpet. Mix some in a plastic spray bottle and spray it on. Rub it in with a brush or towel to get even coverage. Used car lots (and I) have used this trick for years. It works pretty well.

It has been a while since I have bought any, but it used to be available at the supermarket. It is the same stuff your wife would use to dye some fabric.

I never woulda thought it - but the wife actually knew what you are talking about and said it would be a piece of cake. Hmm. (She aint exactly June Cleaver, ya see....).
