Carpet Dye

[roughshot]

I've seen on this forum where carpet on the sides of the boat have been removed, looks like a ton of work. I would like to keep the carpet there, can I dye it? and with what dye?
I've used Rite dye on a lot of hunting projects, can I dye this marine carpet and will it hold in this marine carpet?

Re: Carpet Dye

dont know.....its worth a try.

if it doesn't work.....it will only cost you a few bux and your only other choice is to rip the carpet out and replace it any how.

replacing carpet isnt hard.....its just getting the old stuff off thats a pita

cheers

Thanks Oops. I'm going to try applying dye with a hand pump bug sprayer. I'm sure it will look good for the fall, then I'll have to replace it in the future.

Roughshot,

Auto parts stores carry spray dyes for vinyl, upholstery and carpets. I recommend using that over other fabric dyes.
