dont use that.
me and my cousin decided to give it a shot aswell BUT FAILED.
we used that new packaging product of theirs.
i tried doing mine like how the DIY write up. (failed)
cousin used a drum soaked it over night. (failed)

when it was wet it looked awesome, once dried up it looks the same as old LOLs

we ended up using like 10packets but failed. luckily we got dicounts or else gg.

yer i used that packet & it was crap. my dad got me some "Gold Cross Fabric Dye High Temp" & the sh*t is GANGSTA! you can see the colour change as you put it on. just gotta give it a good wipe down after. I used two 10g bottles.

Dont do red, it doesnt work! I've tried it, the colour doesnt fully soak in and it looks crap - can post pics if need be haha!

Nice job.

I'm planning to dye my carpet blue but am staying away from the Dylon stuff...wasn't great the first time

cant you just soak the carpet in that white king bleach stuff to get the carpet white to dye red? my mum was using the regular strength stuff to clean the grooves of the tiles which have turned black over time. i decided to help her out and they ended up dying parts of my jeans that touched the bleach into white. ill probably try dye my floor mats red first but itll be a while so dont be expecting any pictures soon xD

Bleach recks the fibers of the carpet, i asked about this too haha

Nice work. I like it. Someone needs to do some tie dyed S2000 carpet for effect. Someone needs dark blue or something that is not available...yet. I have Red ....with holes so the dye effect won't help there.
