To dye auto carpet, clean the carpet thoroughly first. Use a dedicated vehicle carpet dye, such as DupliColor, and apply it from a spray bottle for even coverage. Allow sufficient drying time before using the vehicle. Avoid RIT dye, as it can make the carpet stiff. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal results.
Next, thoroughly clean the carpet. Remove dirt, stains, and debris with a vacuum and a suitable carpet cleaner. Allow the carpet to dry completely before dyeing. Once prepared, test the dye on a small, inconspicuous area to check the color outcome.
You can apply the dye using a spray bottle or a brush, ensuring even coverage. Work in sections to maintain control and avoid missed spots. Allow the dye to set as per the manufacturer’s instructions. After sufficient drying time, rinse the carpet with water to remove excess dye.
