Thank you , I swear people hate on diy, like either do it or don’t do it, try sum shit, at least it’s cheap. And it gives you something to do other than sitting on ur ass watching tv. Will be doing this soon for my gs300.
@@MakMilly_hey I’ve got the carpet out of my gs300 rn haha, not sure if I want to refabric the carpet, spray it or dye it. Idk. Trying to diy a black interior swap
Did mines bout few months earlier this year still lasting with no floor mats and me being dirt nasty low scraping my shoes across it 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a new look
I've soooo been searching for a video like this. I have a 2006 Acura TL white with terrible tan interior. Ive redone the headliner using Corbeau suede material for most of the plastic pieces. Which all started by purchasing 2x Corbeau racing seats and when the dealer found out my desire to change my interior from tan to black thats when he put me on to the corbeau headliner material (though it works for plastic pieces as well.) I what i couldn't wrap I just bought off eBay (black door panels, black seatbelts, etc...) Even my rear speaker deck is wrapped. But the carpet I thought would have been easy to find. Unless it was a super expensive "donor" car or the vehicles carpet was too badly damaged it was all a failure. But seeing yours made me give more thought to just using black dye.
@adsafgasgasdfasdf haven't done it yet unfortunately! I work full time so I only have the weekends off and the weekends have been reserved for the mechanical aspect of our rebuild. We're manual swapping his car
Seems like a good method, but you should have washed it to see how it holds up. For anyone watching this I highly recommend you also make a spray bottle of RIT DYE COLOR STAY, as the name suggests it helps BOND the color to fabric.
Great job, I done the can version and it was so crusty and when water went on it? It turned back to gray again, so I’m going this route with this die, great job kid !
Just did this to a carpet i got from pick u pull. Its for my 04 G35! Thanks man! Hopefully it will last. The carpet was already black but i just wanted that limo interior look.
Your video popped up on my feed just in time. I was going g to throw my Integra carpet away. But after watching this, this a great way to make it look brand new for cheap. Thanks for the video man!
I would say clean and bleach it before dying it. Then after dying it make sure to clean the carpet with pressure washer then re-dye it if necessary then pressure wash again to remove excess. But in the end it's an old civic, who cares if it's not perfect ahah
i deffs thought bleach would hold the color in better. and also maybe even used a heat gun or blow dryer before wqshing it to lock in the color a little more maybe?
Thank you so much for this video. That spray method is pretty smart. Gonna do my IS 350 Headliner like this since the other option would be buying the ISF headliner for ~ $1000.
You forgot to add the (Rit colorstay Dye fixative) that goes last, it’s to make the dye last longer and stay doesn’t stain your shoes. I did this on a car but didn’t add the colorstay fixative and it stained my shoes bad.
Believe you are supposed to wash it normally post dying, after its sit in the dye for long enough to stain. Thats what is done with everything else that is dyed with rit dye. Let the carpet sit for a night and then go in there with a bucket, sponge and soap and put in some hard elbow grease to get rid of the leftover dye material. Might take a second go through too idk.
@@iCleanUp I pressure washed mine but most of the dye washes out. I am now on the 3rd bottle of rit after each bottle & wash the dye sticks more and more but this might take 5-7 applications for it to actually be dark black after washing it out
Isn’t the activator (not mentioned in video) used for this purpose? Rit seems to be used more for clothes and yes…..much wash afterwards! Really should do an update on the method and what happened.
Tried the same thing after following a different persons technique but it didn't come out nearly as black. Definitely going to try your way. Any transfer to clothing etc and would it work on the plastic trim in the car as well. Like dye the plastic black?
Dude just found you tonight watching both of your channels. Good stuff. Love how methodical you are, incredible patience, and mad skills. And the budget is right! Subscribed.
Your telling me I don’t have to stay with that blue interior I have in my civic lol...thanks now that I saw how easy it was I’m going to try it out myself thanks man.
One criticism directed at DIY-ing in general (I am guilty of this as well), we talk about only spending $3 on this project, and we all feel so good about ourselves when it is all done.....BUT what about the 8 hours of OUR TIME IT TOOK, how much is the time worth?? We always forget to value our time as DIY-er's (again I am guilty of this as well).
@Joe, At face value your statement makes sense, but upon deeper inquiry it falls flat. I make $46/hr, however, it would be foolish to believe that I would add this into my estimate as 1) I do not actually have to pay myself and do this during my free time, and 2) a shop would quantify their charge for this kind of work differently than simply take what YOU as the customer make per hour. If you were to take time off work to do this, then yes, it would make sense to compare your hourly rate to what a shop would charge as you are directly losing money from not working.
We’ll here an unrelated but kinda related way to answer this. My fuel door release cable on my 4Runner was broken and I talked to Toyota about getting it replaced and they quoted me $750. I decided to tackle it myself, I spent $40 on the cable itself and it took me 10 hours start to finish to get it done. In the end I saved $700 and I got to learn the ins and outs of my vehicle. To me that justified the amount of time spent especially to save $700
How was it after drying? Did any dye transfer or stain shoes or anything like that? How was it to the touch? Did it make it stiff like those rattle can dyes do? Or no?
Just tried this on a MK4 VW Jetta carpet with the all purpose (non-synthetic) stuff. Followed all recommended instructions by Rit... Dye just washed off with a hose so its definatley needs the synthetic stuff
@@xothugger turned out really well considering the dye's didn't at all. I wouldn't even call it that crunchy at all. For the spray paint method just make sure you clean the carpet well (power-wash & soap or whatever) and spray with multiple light coats at different angles. Came out just about as good as it could with no flaking or color rubbing out. I've uploaded an album to imgur but I cant link it here cause youtube and their links policy (add `a/OXfWSel` to imgur's base url to see it)
Do u rinse it after? How does it do when wet and i also thought rit dyes worked better on fabrics when wet???? So why let it dry the whole time??? Jus wonderin
OOOOOMMMGGGG. YOUR A GENIOUS ! Ahhh I love this. I'm like really OCD & I know like carpet cleaners aren't good enough alone, like I mean their good, but not for really dirty stuff exp like an old used car carpet that had previous owners and stuff but OMG the pressure hose and the purple stuff and the broom scrubber thingy THEN the carpet cleaner, WOW! MY WHOLE GAME IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. Omg thank u so much, I love u ! Lol jk but this really honestly saved my life in SOOOOOOO many ways 🥰 this is amazing. Thank u(: & I also want to say thank u for showing us how to dye our carpet bcuz I've wanted black carpet in my car forever but like knew it would never happen bcuz it's too much money but this I CAN DO, like literally everything u did, I love, & the bottle I think had it had cold water around it to the top it would of worked just fine how u invisioned it, meybe like a certain size small bucket would been easier to fill higher... I'm very impressed & I love your style, I like to use rainbow colors too but wow u went way to the top ! That's way cool & lol at the end when u said about the driveway but thats really cool u pay attention to that kind of stuff(: anyways sorry I'm just hella happy I found this & learned so much from u. Ok thnx bye!
I feel like this would probably be a lot easier if you just dumped this thing in a container with the boiling water and RIT rather than all this elbow grease.
I used black Rite dye to do my auto carpet. How do you treat it so it doesn’t bleed off? After 24 hours, I rubbed a white paper towel on it and the towel had black on it. And when I rubbed a wet paper towel, it bleed onto it a lot.
To enhance the color and reduce color bleeding, use Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative immediately after dyeing and before washing, following these instructions. Rinse in cool water until rinse water begins to run clear. Wash in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.
I dyed mine and it came out good buuuut…when I touch it my hands turn black. It has been drying for 6 days. What did I miss and what measures should I take?
Definitley have to completely dry carpet before you spray ,and if you do spray don’t spray heavy ,do light misting coats to build up a good adhesion base then let that dry , then spray a finishing coat, let it dry, do a touch up if needed, all keeping a decent bit of distance to stop over spray
if the carpet is a synthetic fabric the rit dye he used wont work. you need synthetic fiber dye. *rit dyemore for synthetics. (it's a pain to use-it needs to constantly be at a below boil for 30min-an hour) *plenty of youtube videos on it
Hey I know this is an older video but how does it turn out in terms of the dye stiffening up the carpet fibers? If I use this kit properly will I still keep an oem like feel?
Did this on my 1994 Accord Wagon. If you do the same process but wash out each coat after it sits overnight with a sprayer on a regular garden hose it will wash the extra dye out and that way it wont stain other things and will keep the same texture as it did stock when done. So dye it, let sit overnight, wash off with water, dry by shop vac, redye, sit, wash, dry by shop vac, repeat until color is satisfactory when dry. When you like the color make sure its washed out well and then vacuum and dry it really well and then you'll be golden. The texture after done or being in the car for a couple days afterwards will be the exact same as stock.
Thats what I like about my element, I can use my favorite interior cleaner, spray it down, let it soak up, then a few minutes later clean it off with micro fiber rags, and the interior looks like new, no need to remove the interior, pressure wash nor spot vacuum cleaners
I wanna do this so bad, I just dont have the patience to take everything out and put it all back in. I'm in waxahachie, you live close? If I paid you would you do it for me?
Umm idk I would say it would kinda wear out and look grey and not as black as it used to just like when you buy brand new black pants and you wash them over time it’ll wear the black out
@@meriss1901 it stays for awhile. It would probably take a couple years before you'd need to repaint it again. But this is important. Make sure you dont have armorol on your dash or components you are spraying. The paint will separate and have a issue sticking. So be sure to wash your dash down with some dawn dish soap to remove any armorol if you use it. It Is like 16$ a can from the auto store so it took me 2 cans just to do my doors and dash in my trans am. I still have to spray the plastic in the back and hatch. So I'd say 4 or 5 cans of it.
You can use armorol after it has dried to keep the dash looking slick and new but it shouldn't fade as long as your car isn't sitting in the sun all day all the time.
Just make sure it's dry if you do seats or arm rests had a few outfits ruined bcz it wasn't other than that it's made for fabric so it's a better choice than that spray crap 😂 also u can do it in the car and don't even need to clean or vacuum dirt / Peebles out it will still dye it just fine lol done it twice now with awesome results
Buy new carpet this is not worth the effort neither is the spray cans of automotive vinyl dye,they don't last and it's a lot more time and effort than just fitting new carpet
After dying the carpet, how was the texture? Does it feel like carpet or does it get stiff or gross? Never used RIT but have used other dyes and it made the carpet stiff
If you don't have a shampooer, you can just use hot water, some degreaser and a brush to scrub and rinse off with hose. If you've got a wet/dry vacuum, use that to suck up water from the carpet.
Does this feel hard and wall paint does after it dries up? I’m worried after applying the whole carpet and comes out crispy and dry like normal paint does on fabric.
Damnit... it didnt work on mine. I don't know if yours is different than mine, but its like it wouldn't stick to my carpet, maybe because it's polyester idk
You could’ve just went to a carpet mill get remnants, carpet for a car trace the old carpet as a pattern and then just install it in your car. You would’ve saved a lot of time and money.

Let it sit and carpet clean it after the fact

Next time you should use RIT colo stay. It bonds and protects the dye from running or fading
THAT GARAGE Good to know man!!
Does the RIT dye make the carpet a hard material type or does it keep its soft texture
Did almost the same with my carpet. I used some black chalk paint mixed with water. Works perfectly and costs about the same as your method.

Gotta wash all that excess dye out and use salt in the mix to help it set.
you gotta wash all the excess out lol standard dye thing
tip: might want to wash it after as well to avoid staining in the future

How do you recommend washing?

Maybe get one of those pump sprayers for watering plants and u get to avoid the forearm workout
Good video. You can throw a cup of non iodized salt in the dye bath to make sure the cotton soaks it up.
How did it hold up? I used the Rit dye for nylon and it faded away within 6 months
Dam you’re good at these diy videos!!! Very impressive James!!
Right lol. Hope my videos come out as clean as his one day lol

pretty sure you have to add vinegar to the spray mixture

Umm idk I would say it would kinda wear out and look grey and not as black as it used to just like when you buy brand new black pants and you wash them over time it’ll wear the black out

Buy new carpet this is not worth the effort neither is the spray cans of automotive vinyl dye,they don't last and it's a lot more time and effort than just fitting new carpet
@@100reality2 it’s the same amount of effort
Does your mom get mad at you for getting dye in her sink or spray in her garage? I'm not allowed to do projects like this unless my mom is at work.
😂😂😂
After dying the carpet, how was the texture? Does it feel like carpet or does it get stiff or gross? Never used RIT but have used other dyes and it made the carpet stiff
Run a brush over it and it'll help soften it up.
Did you leave the mat attached when you sprayed it? I did this and it's still wet after 3 days of drying and it's too heavy to move
If I don’t have a pressure washer can I just use the carpet cleaner vacuum thing?
Yes it will still work that way
If you don't have a shampooer, you can just use hot water, some degreaser and a brush to scrub and rinse off with hose. If you've got a wet/dry vacuum, use that to suck up water from the carpet.
Does this feel hard and wall paint does after it dries up? I’m worried after applying the whole carpet and comes out crispy and dry like normal paint does on fabric.
It's dye, not paint
Do you think this will come off on my shoes or my pants if I do this?
What brand is that shampoo machine? Came out great I had same color in camry wish I had this video then. My santa fe could use this though.
FixmyToyota I don’t remember bought it about 2yrs ago from Walmart I think it’s a bissel
Did you rinse it out after your put the diy ?
Question did you rinse out the dye after having it fully dye ? Or did you just keep it like that🤔
Yes, if you go the dye method you need to rinse out whatever doesn't stick (otherwize its going to transfer to your skin/clothing)
Would this work with the headliner too?
Thanks!
yo you donate money ??
need to rinse it. gl on a rainy day
I have gray interior been thinking of buying Jegs black cloth racing seats for the front and dying the rear seats black and also the carpet black.
The Uselink Project ima get racing seats up front and dye the back ones
Gets wet and dye comes out
These came out looking amazing
I would just take the carpet out and wash it at a laundry mat in an industrial wash machine and then use rot dye to let it soak
Damnit... it didnt work on mine. I don't know if yours is different than mine, but its like it wouldn't stick to my carpet, maybe because it's polyester idk
The Rit dye worked perfectly but took 3 bottles
I used half a bottle like you did on mine and it was dark grey did a more dense bottle the 2nd time and I’m guessing it was too thick for the sprayer
Amazing! Did u dry the carpet before dyeing it?

How long does this last ?
You could’ve just went to a carpet mill get remnants, carpet for a car trace the old carpet as a pattern and then just install it in your car. You would’ve saved a lot of time and money.
Money? He spent 10 bucks lol
That wouldn't work. Car carpet is specifically molded in certain spots. This way he keeps the original molds
