dying carpets - recolouring

Post

Back to the top

anyone had any experience

Right chaps….

i got my new carpet set from newton commercial yesterday, i'm trying to refresh my car and fit new parts so ordered new carpets but in the same breath trying to keep it original spec (ish)

my mk1 is a golf N and came with the 'grey' carpets (non gti black stuff) so naturally ordered grey from newtons but is much lighter than expected.

i'm now considering dying the carpets either with black dye on the light grey (in a hope do darken the grey - not to dye carpets black) or dark grey dye to 'recolour' the carpets.

i have never dyed carpets or have any idea of products, finished look so any advice / tips would be much appreciated.

I've dyed some mats before and they came out ok but getting the colour right is hit and miss.

I used spray dye in an aerosol, once dry it was ok but if you use this type of product I would suggest trying a sample first. And make sure it doesn't transfer.
