RE: [Chrysler300] Carpet Dye

["Wieland, Elizabeth" <EWieland@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help, everyone.  I am passing these on to Bob and he will
get to make his selection.  At least he's making some progress.  Now if
he will just get the car off the ramps so my Challenger can be driven!!!

The other product that works good for restoring color in faded carpet is
fabric spray dye that comes in rattle cans. I've used black and red, and
it
works quite good. Not sure where to get it but I have bought it at
places
that sell vinyl spray dyes, they are usually displayed together. The
stuff
I have here is Fabspray by Zynolyte, but they are old cans, so I don't
know
if it is still called that. Check with auto body paint suppliers, paint
and
hardware stores.

Hi Yu'all; For years I have used RIT liquid dye to "freshen up" some
faded
auto carpet. Cleaned before applying, poured on rag and rubbed into the
carpet and let dry. Most fabric shops carry it. Years ago, Wal-Mart
carried
it. Use household rubber gloves, then throw them away. If getting on
hands,
will take a month to come off. Been there, done that.

Believe it or not, Bob is working on his K ~ allbeit slowly but he's
working
on it.

At the present the seats are out and he has been recovering them. This
brought the carpet into full view. While it's overall in good shape, it
does
have some fading in some areas. He's wants to dye the faded areas so it
looks good. I checked with a store I frequent but their dye is for
natural
animal fibers and not the kinds found in cars. But Jyl suggested a
search
for auto dye on the internet. Well, that leaves things a little too wide
open so I'm hoping to narrow it down by asking you motor heads for help.

Do any of you have any suggestions for good places to purchase dye for
our
old dolls? Thanks in advance for your time.
