I installed new carpet but didn't have enough for the sides of console . . . so cleaned the carpet on the console, and painted with Vinyl & Fabric paint. Looks perfect !!! . . . good luck !

Cheers

Mark

I tried dying a carpet once with RIT. Apparently synthetic fibers that the carpet I was working with would not accept dye. I ended up spraying it with SEM (which is a flexible paint, not a dye).

Took 3 applications from a small spray bottle and the carpet is all one shade of nice black....


Thanx.
