D.I.Y Dyeing your carpet..

[I heart the SSS]

Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!


Aim:
To Turn your smelly grey carpet into black sexy clean carpet.

Required:

2 X Dylon Hot wash dye (I used ebony Black), 6 - 7 bucks from
lincraft / spotlight etc. USE THIS BRAND! THIS DYE STICKS TO PLASTIC FABRICS!

1 X table salt (you'll need around a ounce or 30 grams worth)

1 X Mixing bowl. Make sure it's metal (it'll melt plastic) and not going to be used for food / again in general.

1 X DYLON colour remover (if you want to do a bright red or green etc)

1 X Stirrer (as you can see, my plastic spoon was eff'd. Try a metal spoon.

1 X Spray bottle

1 X Funnel (this will get ruined in the process)

1 X kettle

Steps:

Prep: GIVE THE CARPET A GOOD CLEAN! Make sure it's a decent clean, and make sure the carpet is free of any product you used once it's clean (IE not suddy and oily on your fingers when you touch it!) You can spray the dye on wet carpet too.

STEP ONE: I suggest removing the carpet from you're car, if you can't be fussed, fair enough. It'll take a day or two to dry, so if it's a friday and the car isn't being used till monday, you should be alright. I recommend removing it however.

ANYWAY, take the Dye tin, and pierce the lid. Tip the contents of the dye tin into the metal mixing bowl, and add the 30 odd grams of salt (Just guess)

STEP TWO: Boil 500 odd mils of water in the kettle. Once boiled, pour into the soloution in the mixing bowl.

STEP THREE: STIR WELL! Stir for around 2 mintutes, occasionally scraping the bottom of the bowl to check for any left over dye that may be sitting at the bottom of the bowl. It should start to smell strong, and get a rainbow like film on the top.

STEP FOUR: Place the funnel in the neck of the spray bottle, and pour contents down the funnel into the bottle, be careful! Don't burn yourself!

STEP FOUR POINT FIVE / OPTIONAL: Use Colour remove dye here if you wish to dye the carpet a bright red say. You don't need too, just for a 101% sucess rate with making the carpet bright / you're paranoid it'll fail :).

STEP FIVE: Screw the lid on, and take the spray bottle to the carpet (IT'S HOT, SO WATCH OUT!) Begin spraying layers in a horizontal like motion accross the carpet, and do one section at a time.
Don't be scared to saturate the carpet, as that is how dye works. ALSO, Don't get scared if you start to see grey patches! this is because once the carpets saturated and damp, light reflects off it making it appear grey. If you are that worried, spray some more on. The salt you added before helps the dye spread at a even rate. Should begin to look like below

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/4585/cimg0004om7.jpg


STEP SIX: Once you have done one layer / coat of the dye, repeate process around 1 - 2 hours later (same as above with the second tin) It'll start looking more black like below.

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/426/cimg0003gs8.jpg

STEP SEVEN: Don't drive your car for a day or two (hence why i said remove the carpet! Take a peep at the carpet, if you are happy (like I am), simply fit the carpet back and use floor mats, and the dye will last a long time! If you are unhappy / there are patches, repeate process again. It won't hurt doing it a few times. As you can see, mine came out like this. IT looks pretty cool!

Easy way to bring your carpet back from the dead. get creative! i want to see some blue and green carpets !

Other comments

You may use other colours, the DYLON range is huge. I suggest using this DYE as it works on plastic fabrics too, and sticks well to the carpet (mine looks fantastic!) You may also choose to use the colour remover prior to dying if you want a vibrant red say, it's in the same tin alongside the DYLON dye tins, in the same section. you can't miss it!

Happy D.I.Y Kids

Let us know if it runs when wet. Apart from that top job mate

[baeshin]

does it smell??

[Jaso]

Looks to be a good idea mate. Results look good too. Is the texture/feel of the carpet still the same?

[GTKING]

wow this is quite interesting
i also want to know if the dye will run when wet and
wonder how would red turn out

[XP02ED]

i used the same methods although different dye, nice work dude.

any no it doesnt run when wet, its a dye..

EDIT ( although it can fade if u dont have floor mats. )

[I heart the SSS]

does it smell??

Not at all. Once it's dry it's pretty odourless.


Looks to be a good idea mate. Results look good too. Is the texture/feel of the carpet still the same?

Feels the same, it's a dye so it stains your fabric, not like the paint on stuff which leaves a spikey texture..


wow this is quite interesting
i also want to know if the dye will run when wet and
wonder how would red turn out


AS said above, it's a dye so it won't run. Red would look good, Just use the colour remover dye stuff prior to using the red !

[Lukey]

I'll have to attempt this once I decide to do my stereo.

[Snoop_gee]

i would be interested to see some1 attempt a more bolder colour ..

[g_kn]

someone do red carpet :p

[I heart the SSS]

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

In theory you could

[kairi_k]

nice job!!!...does the carpet fade after a while? urs still look a little grey/black in the photos in real life is it more black? would u recommend 3coats?

cheers

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

nice job!!!...does the carpet fade after a while? urs still look a little grey/black in the photos in real life is it more black? would u recommend 3coats?

cheers

Justin has since sold the EG

But when i last saw it in-person before he sold it, it was alot more darker then in the photo's

In theory the more Dying you do the darker it will get

[Fo55il]

i put sum on my door trims, ran my finger on it a weekish later. got black on my fingers. just a lil bit.

[XP02ED]

what dye did you use?

[Fo55il]

same one u recommended

[I heart the SSS]

i put sum on my door trims, ran my finger on it a weekish later. got black on my fingers. just a lil bit.

THe door trims are a different material from the carpet..

I presume they have a longer drying time?

Post pics please!

[kairi_k]

so does the carpet fade, like the door trims? im thinking of doing 3coats for a more black look just in case, but i dont want the carpet to fade, even though i will be using floor mats aswell..

[XP02ED]

its gna fade in time, ie rainy days

i would suggest that you buy a fabric and lay it over your carpet with using some sort of adhesive to stick the items together :D

i was gna do this instead of buying an EK9 carpet, but i cbf at this stage taking my interior out again

[steve88]

i did that, its not the easiest thing to do lol

did you find the dye left any residue on the carpet, ie, sticky or crusty?

[XP02ED]

i havent had any fade issues on mine, i got floor mats

[I heart the SSS]

Also, I didnt find any crusty residue..

I presume you didn't let the dye blend for as long as it should (like a hot chocolate, you get those odd bits of chocolate powder floating LOL)

I found that a lot of the crusty things tended to reside on the bottom of the mixing bowl, so really scraping the bottom with your mixing tool is advised!

[Fo55il]

any ideas on waht dye to use for dooor trims, the fabric on it. i got a eh. grey is gay lol want black

but i sprayed carpet dye, i rub n it comes on my hand as mentioned b4

[XP02ED]

why not just change the fabric with vinyl or whatvea

[Fo55il]

daat was anohter question,

plastic welding is a bitch, for d eh i gotta get taht done,

i liek d oem, but i want black .. . cinvyl gon look funny wid d rest

nah i havent done it yet lol, i've just heard of people whinging about crusty carpet afterwords. im considering on doing it on my seats

[I heart the SSS]

nah i havent done it yet lol, i've just heard of people whinging about crusty carpet afterwords. im considering on doing it on my seats

ahh that generally occurs with carpet paint, not really the dye. :)

If you where going to do seats, I'd try a spare one first, as i think the constant sitting down and rubbing action would have it's toll..

[kairi_k]

another option. there is vinyl/carpet paint at auobarn for about $15 a can..

[nick_sixx]

lol i did this today and managed to spray boiling hot dye on my face haha. i held the bottle awkwardly at the top because it was so hot, and sprayed it into my finger, which glanced it onto my cheek. :(

[kcokla]

http://firesport.ipspace.com/images/124297_2008070127.jpg

more pics!
you've inspired me to want to spray my dash and mid-area black!

[kraftycuts]

im going to try this, will this also work for the rugs as well? cause i was thinking of doing the rugs red and the floor carpet black.

[I heart the SSS]

It would work, read up on the first page.

You can use some predye stuff that takes the colour off the carpet / makes it a colour which can be dyed over.

So i suggest using this predye stuff to make sure your red turns out as intense as the packet says

:)

P.S it can be found in the same section, in the same Tin. "Dylon Pre dye wash / Dylon Colour remover"

[kraftycuts]

sweet thanks, went to get it from spotlight today.
with the pre-dye do you have any instructions on how i should use it? or any suggestions? is is the same as spraying it on or does it have to be soaked in the pre-dye?

[soru]

hey guys, I need some help with this. I have been using the cheap supercheap spray bottles and they only seem to spray the hot dye for about 10secs and then it stops working. What spray bottles did you guys/girls use?

[I heart the SSS]

I used a old windex one or some shit, and the predye crap is applied the same! soak it well!

[kraftycuts]

I used a old windex one or some shit, and the predye crap is applied the same! soak it well!

thanks mate! :thumbsup:

[kraftycuts]

i just done the carpet today! it turned out perfect! looks SWEET!
but the pre-dye stuff for the rugs didnt work for me for some reason. it didnt seem to remove the grey off the rug. am i ment to spray it on like the black dye then rinse it off? or was i supposed to soak it all in a bucket then rinse it out?
kinda stuck here

[kairi_k]

more pics!
you've inspired me to want to spray my dash and mid-area black!

cheers bro, +1 rep?

sorry i dont have the car anymore, yeah i think black looks best, make sure u used a matte black..gl post pics when its done.

im currently working on a similiar job on my dc2

[kairi_k]

bump for an awesome DIY, if u got the time this is a must. will freshen up the interior amazingly

[xenonkuraz]

I just pulled my carpet out today. In the process of cleaning it :) thinking of colouring it red or purple...hrmm

[DWU]

Make sure to post pics!!!
I bought red carpet from the states - cost me an arm and leg curious to see pics

[kcokla]

not to rain on OP's thread, but i failed at this hard,
not sure if it was me or the techxnique or both or whatever. but probably me
i did everything as instructed as best as i could, and it turned black but when i sprayed water on it after ( to test and so on) it simply all came out
i tried 2 times until giving up :(
if you've done this please post pics !

[xenonkuraz]

oh man I hope that doesn't happen to me! Go to all that effort and the dye runs off...not to mention messy too

[MRB18R]

could you die it to red from grey??

[xenonkuraz]

yeah I was wondering that as well...

the OP suggests using colour remover...but I always thought that the grey is a natural colour?

[xenonkuraz]

They don't sell the Dylon anymore.

Sigh.

Any other product suggestion?

[kcokla]

they do,
goto a chemist
its just differnt packaging

[xenonkuraz]

I just bought a pack of iDye 'Poly' Black (for Polyester & Nylons) for $10. Mixed it with about 700ml of water and sprayed it on. One packet seems to have done the trick...the carpet looks really nice and dark (from grey). Now I'm just waiting to see if the colour will run once it dries. Will keep you guys updated :thumbsup:

[xenonkuraz]

The one's they sell at the chemist/supermarkets are for organic blends only ;)

yo tell me if the colour washes out.. :)

[xenonkuraz]

I bought two colour packs, and using the method outline by the OP I dyed my carpet, but before dyeing it again I rinsed out the excess dye, let it dry and then dyed again a few days later.
I repeated the process and the final result was a greenish/blue. Not what I expected but meh it looks better than the stock grey.

If I hadn't have rinsed the dye out then it would have been ebony black, however meaning it would run if water was to touch it.

If you were to try this I highly recommend trying to find the DYLON tins but I doubt you will as they have been discontinued for more than a year now.

Good luck!

[GIPONU]

i just tried this about 3hrs ago in my garage.
got the dylon ebony black about 3 tins mixxed up and filled a spray bottle 2x.
got the stuff from a ebay seller in Tasi.
looks alrite now, just gotta wait and see how it is when its dry

[pieee]

Awesome DIY! I will be attempting this sometime soon, bookmarked ;)

[cubz]

nice.... something to put on my DIY list on for later projects :)

[dancoco808]

hi guys,

wanting to give this a shot in black... can't seem to locate anyone that sells the suitable dye? any suggestions? it seems dylon have changed to only sell fabric dyes and no longer sell polyester or carpet dyes.

i've tried spotlight, lincraft, carpet call, a local place called flooring accessories, and all of them only sell fabric dyes (i.e. ones u put through the washing machine or soak garments in).

cheers.

[m.o.d.aus]

I'm trying a spray on stuff out of a can that you can get from autobahn and the likes, will get back to you guys when its finished, should be done in the next couple of weeks with results etc.

Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdkMnwS6Ibk&feature=youtube_gdata

btw.. Anyone who's done this have any problems when it rains? I.e white shoes - wet + dyed carpet = stained shoes?!!

[dancoco808]

had a shot at this, as modaus said above, using stuff that i found from autobarn, will post results soon.

[m.o.d.aus]

hey man how many cans did you use for one coat?
I've used two and only got half of the carpet done... :s
And i need atleast two coats, going red and want vibrant colour

[androo]

Finally someone doing it in red! I will track you down and murder your cat if you don't post up pics! =]

[m.o.d.aus]

haha pitty i dont have a cat :p
Yeah should look wicked!
Red car, red CARpet :D haha
Re-doing my interior slowly, jdm style black with red inserts :)

[androo]

Yeh it's because I killed it already =D

Good luck with it! Hope it looks awesome =] Post up pics when you're done!

[m.o.d.aus]

Will do, might be a little while though, at $17 a can, and i need roughly 4 cans a coat, and im doing two coats to get a great colour.... :S
Plus have my 18th coming up soon hehe, we all know how money is spent then :p

[dancoco808]

here's some pics of my carpet dyeing...

(my eg came with dirty stanky ass carpet, that had patches of gummy crap, clumpiness, holes and stains on it. for the last month or so of owning, i've been running it totally stripped due to its stankiness. so thought there wasn't much to lose in dying it black.)

this is what i used, 16.99/can @ autobarn, at first i thought it would be a paint given the extensive VHT paint range and the fact that the instructions on the can were identical/similar to those of their paints (lol copy and paste job)... but as the can says its a dye and sprays on thinly, much like the consistency of water/dye
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/coco69/civic%20blog/IMG_70350800.jpg

this is about 3/4 of a can. as the instructions say, after spraying, i got a brush and ran it thru the fibres, then sprayed in the perpendicular direction
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/coco69/civic%20blog/IMG_70330800.jpg

ended up using 3x cans, if i had better quality carpet i woulda ideally used 4-5 cans to give it more depth... concentrated more on the visible areas rather than under the seats
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/coco69/civic%20blog/IMG_70400800.jpg

layed in the car... the blue showing thru is a tarp layer i put underneath coz some of the tougher/plastic-vinyl layer under the carpet had worn thru in spots and the carpet fibres were exposed in some places
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/coco69/civic%20blog/IMG_70530800.jpg

put back some interior trim... haven't run with these since the 2nd day i got the car. i would've liked to have done a few more coats, but in RL the lighter areas aren't as obvious as in the photos.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/coco69/civic%20blog/IMG_70620800.jpg

wow i actually have an interior now, and it feels quite comfortable
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/coco69/civic%20blog/IMG_70640800.jpg

overall, very happy with the results :)

have more shots at other angles, lemme know if anyone needs any

[androo]

Looks awesome good work! Hey if you wet it does it run at all? Try wetting a small patch and running some white paper across it - does it all stay or does it come out?

[rey2009]

woww great job +1rep to you

but as androo said above try that and let us know please

can u buy RED colour in this spray can? how would that end up looking any idea? has anyone tried red?

[androo]

Also man, how did you clean the carpet first? I'm gonna be cleaning up the Integra I just bought last weekend this weekend! Might do this if I have time. Huge clean up project for me =] (the whole exterior is kinda banged up so I gotta get a whole respray but in the meantime I'm going to get the inside cleaned up).

[androo]

Guys I went to Lincraft to get some dye but they were closed lol. I'm off work on Tuesday so I'm gonna stop by, grab some and do it =]

I'll post up pics once its done!

[Premature Vtec]

Nice +1 i might just do it with the carpet still in the car lol to save time that i dont have, and mask everything off. Any repercussions ?

[androo]

Not the same thing, but I resprayed my old EG's dash before lol... I used vinyl spray and made the dash + door trims black. Now the door trims I took out, but with the dash I just masked off everything really well and sprayed it. Just spent half my life masking stuff though LOL

I think you should at least take out the lower trims that cover bits of your carpet as a minimum. Shouldn't take you long to mask everything in this case though so yeh... Taking the carpet out doesn't take very long though...

[androo]

It's raining today.... Gonna have a crack anyway =]

[kcokla]

Looks awesome good work! Hey if you wet it does it run at all? Try wetting a small patch and running some white paper across it - does it all stay or does it come out?

+++ waiting on this answer +1

[androo]

Yeh I want that answer too =] I bought the dye and everything and took the seats out then it started pissing rain =( bad idea lol. I put the driver seat back in - Will do this on the weekend instead.

FYI - I bought the dye from Lincraft. They have two types, one is where you chuck it into your washing machine and let it run, the other you apply. I bought the one you apply. It's about $8 a box of approx. 300g. I bought two just in case.

I also did alot of research about dying the carpet red - If you're using dye like mine it's not going to work unless you are able to make the carpet white first. But those spray can ones work the same as a can of paint - It will go over the top but I have no idea if it'll run. Good luck guys

[androo]

Did this on my car! Very happy. Will take pics in the morning!

[kairi_k]

awesome job but at $17 per can, pretty pricey. the dylon stuff works great and only half the price

[kairi_k]

awesome thread. best diy to freshen up outdated interiors

[Premature Vtec]

Did this on my car! Very happy. Will take pics in the morning!

Did u use the Vinyl spray can ?

[androo]

Man weather's been bad haven't been able to take pics =(

Here's what I did - Note that I did not remove the carpet from my car:

1. Remove seats including back seats.

2. Remove kick panels + drivers foot rest, unbolt driver and front passenger seat belts

3. Remove centre console

4. Vacuum like I've never vacuumed before! Then used alot of carpet cleaner. Scrub the carpet and clean it well.

5. Let it dry then vacuum again. Drove with only the drivers seat until it dried out.

6. Once dry, get a wet towel and give the carpet a quick wipe over to make sure most of the detergent is all gone.

7. Mix the dye with boiled water and put it in a spray bottle. I put the two packets inside a 1.5L used drink bottle. Next time I'd use more to get a darker finish (or less water as I had some left over).

8. Spray the whole carpet with a good coat of the dye I used about 800ml of the dye doing this. Then get a brush and brush the dye into the carpet so that the colour gets into the fibers and to make it even.

9. Take the remaining amount and give the carpet a really good go over. I probably had about 300ml left at the end. I then just ran my hand (wearing gloves of course) through the fibers to even everything out. Let it dry. This took 3 days in this crazy cold/rainy weather. During that time I just drove around with one seat.

10. Once dry, you'll notice that if you run your hand over the carpet, it will make your hand black. This is the excess dye on the carpet. Get a damp towel (that you don't need) and give the carpet a good wipe down. This removes all the excess and leaves only the actual dyed carpet behind.

11. Put everything back together!

Now, to be honest, it didn't come out as black as I'd like, however it is a much darker colour than stock so I'm very happy. I have no doubt that if I used just one more packet of dye, or less water, it would be very black.I do however think that this is an awesome idea and am very happy with my results. Very even and even with wet white shoes, non of the dye got onto my shoes after I went over it with a towel. It did get all over my shoes when I drove around for a few days before the wipe down.

Hope this helps guys. Will post a pic as soon as the weather permits!

+ I think the Vinyl spray is very similar to a spray paint? If so I think you'll be able to do red lol

[xenonkuraz]

I just bought a pack of iDye 'Poly' Black (for Polyester & Nylons) for $10. Mixed it with about 700ml of water and sprayed it on. One packet seems to have done the trick...the carpet looks really nice and dark (from grey). Now I'm just waiting to see if the colour will run once it dries. Will keep you guys updated :thumbsup:

8 months later and the carpet is still nice and black having been steam cleaned twice (this is my CD5)

[2GOOD123]

i really want someone to try red and post up the result

[androo]

I think you should try it and post it up =]

[mytfoz]

i think you should try doing it red.
i might try doing mine black heheheh :P

[2GOOD123]

haha maybe later

[m.o.d.aus]

Tried red. still keen you get it red. But also considering black, as that is soo much easier. With red you'll have to make the carpet lighter in colour, as the red doesnt get the deep look, but has a grey under tone, doesnt look how i wanted it too anyways, but i've only done a section so im not posting pics just yet :p

[The Dog]

I went to spotlight the other day & i couldnt find that exact dylon dye in that little tin. i think they may have changed the packaging. is this the right one now? -----> http://www.dylon.co.uk/products/dyes/fabric-dye-for-hand-use/velvet-black.html

cousin used a drum soaked it over night. (failed)

we ended up using like 10packets but failed. luckily we got dicounts or else gg.

[The Dog]

yer i used that packet & it was crap. my dad got me some "Gold Cross Fabric Dye High Temp" & the sh*t is GANGSTA! you can see the colour change as you put it on. just gotta give it a good wipe down after. I used two 10g bottles.

cant you just soak the carpet in that white king bleach stuff to get the carpet white to dye red? my mum was using the regular strength stuff to clean the grooves of the tiles which have turned black over time. i decided to help her out and they ended up dying parts of my jeans that touched the bleach into white. ill probably try dye my floor mats red first but itll be a while so dont be expecting any pictures soon xD

Bleach recks the fibers of the carpet, i asked about this too haha

Nice work. I like it. Someone needs to do some tie dyed S2000 carpet for effect. Someone needs dark blue or something that is not available...yet. I have Red ....with holes so the dye effect won't help there.

This sounds really good, I think i'll give it a crack in the next couple of weeks.

- Sorry guys, no extreme colours :)

anyone got pictures of there red? i like the white king idea, get it white first then red. will it melt the plastic of the interior if it gets on it?
