We suggest staying in the same color family as the original color of the carpet; you will get the best results this way. To custom make the color of your car’s carpet you will need to choose the closest 1-2 colors to your carpet and make up your own formula. Mixing the dyes is simple, the more dye you add to the water, the darker the dye bath gets.
The dye is permanent so run a test color sample first. This is the very best way to know what color your project will ultimately turn out. Run a test color sample in a small out of the way area, like under a seat. A very light color carpet with low pile ( as in your vehicle) does not have the ability to get to a deep dark color. There are simply not enough dye sites to hold a dark rich color. If you want to dye the car carpets black, you will get the best results if starting from a dark base color, not a light color.

Enhancement – for vehicle interiors in good condition that have lost that “new car” look. Just apply a light spray of dye and will be renewed to “like new” condition.
Recoloring – for vehicle interiors that have irreparable stains and fading that cannot be corrected. A heavy spray of dye and you will cover the stains and fading, darkening the original color slightly.
Dyeing – for vehicle interiors that are severely stained, faded, and worn. A heavy spray of dye will completely cover the original color, leaving a rich, like new finish (some colors may require more than one application).
