Vehicle carpet paint?
I've been redoing the interior of my [street] truck. The vehicle I have never came with black carpet, and tracking down aftermarket black carpet is next to impossible. I was wondering about using "Duplicolor Vinal and Fabric" spray paint. I have used it on some ohter parts of my interior (for two toneing) and have been quite happy about the resolts. It says on the can that you can use it on carpet.
I was wondering, has anyone used this (or any other brand, if so, what brand) and how did it turn out in the long run, after it had been worn in a little bit, after a few weeks, months or years. I will be putting floor mats in, but I still have the tunnel and the door cills to deal with. will it last in the long term?
I have found carpet on the internet before, I just don't like ordering online. I haven't found any stores in my city that will sell it, or order it in for me. I know that Summit Racing does sell the carpet as well as LMC Truck.
My truck originally came with a vinal floor. I went to Pick'n'pull (since it's been discontinues at the dealer), and found some, the carpet is red. I have pressure washed the carpet using the (3000PSI) pressure washer I have access to at work. I have the carpet drying at the shop right now. I have not removed anything from my interior, yet.
I'm painting it black. missed that part too.

Yes believe it or not it does work! You want to use a brush. Spray the paint on, and brush it into the rug, then repeat until you achieve proper coverage. You are going to be stepping on it, so you will have to touch it up from time to time. But we used it in a daily driver, and it looked good, and held up well.

I would think it depends more on what color you are "painting over"...if you have dark colored carpet now, it will probably "blend" better than a light color. Getting an even coat would be my concern.
Are you pulling the carpet all the way out to do it? I would suggest you do, and lay it out on a bench or on the floor with good lighting overhead. That will give you a better visual idea of how you are doing...it'll dry better too...
