Carpet Dyes

daylower · October 21, 2009

So my wife and all her infinite wisdom decided to put a container of bleach in the back seat on the floor mat. Well said bleach tipped over and she didnt put the top on well enough and it leaked out, now I have a brown/reddish spot on my carpet in the backseat about the side of a half dollar. I figured maybe some carpet dye would fix it? I called the dealership out here and they dont carry anything like that and a google search yielded some results, but from websites I've never heard of. Would NAPA/AutoZone or something carry that? Pretty easy to do? I have black interior so I figure the color matching cant be too far off.

Find a local Carbrite or Pro Chemical rep they carry carpet dyes very easy to apply. Napa might carry it just have to check with them

time to break out the sharpie

yeah I was thinking about the sharpie route, but in larger spots they seem to give off a metallic kind of look, but I guess I could just give that a try then dye the carpet if I dont like it. Thanks for the info guys.
