I've never used the paints, but there are some dyes available in spray can form. SEMS is the better know brand and it works pretty well. Fabrics really need a dye that will absorb into the threads, a paint will not become part of the flexible covering. On plastic, though SEMS works good, I've used it on Apillars and never been disappointed.

Depends on how clean they come. For the effort, I would replace the carpet with Nifty's proline replacements in your choice of color rather than trying to dye it evenly.
