While my baby is in getting her new paint job I decided to strip the interior beforehand.
Re-dyed the carpet, floor mats, seats and any other fabric covered part in the car.

I think it turned out great..dark black. All the other items look amazing too.
Ill add pics once I put it back in the car.

Can this be used to change carpet color from tan to black? Or will it rub off

Being clothing dye it should be the real deal.

Looks great, as black as it should be.

This stuff that she used seams to be good. I tried that Duplicolor rattle can interior/fabric dye to try to dye the tan carpet to black in my Neon. It looked good for about a week but it was stiff and started to rub away. I eventually just replaced the carpet when i completely overhauled the interior.
