Very nice and very cool autism awareness theme as well. As a dad of two autistic sons. You made an instant fan buddy.

[@thedeadstig123]

I'd just like to say this method does work just like he showed, 2 years later my carpet is still black and didn't come off or stain etc

[@MakMilly_]

Thank you , I swear people hate on diy, like either do it or don’t do it, try sum shit, at least it’s cheap. And it gives you something to do other than sitting on ur ass watching tv. Will be doing this soon for my gs300.

[@linkuxsnooks5256]

@@MakMilly_hey I’ve got the carpet out of my gs300 rn haha, not sure if I want to refabric the carpet, spray it or dye it. Idk. Trying to diy a black interior swap

Dudes out cleaning carpet in the dark. Much respect!! That is a hard worker. Rare to see these days.

[@wojomojo]

Dude just found you tonight watching both of your channels. Good stuff. Love how methodical you are, incredible patience, and mad skills. And the budget is right! Subscribed.

[@Battleborn357]

Your video popped up on my feed just in time. I was going g to throw my Integra carpet away. But after watching this, this a great way to make it look brand new for cheap. Thanks for the video man!

[@lexusautotek8905]

WHAT ? NO WAY !!!!that’s way easier then way I been doing it . I’m gona try appreciate video G

[@thehiddentruth5665]

Watching carpet get pressure washed is awesome! Almost therapeutic! Thx bro

[@sloppytaco9629]

Weirdo

[@william8236]

Great video, clear and good instructions, you did a great job,, thank you for sharing this...

[@okasimyg8437]

PURPLE POWER!!! I live by this product

[@Yohane350]

Thank you so much for this video. That spray method is pretty smart. Gonna do my IS 350 Headliner like this since the other option would be buying the ISF headliner for ~ $1000.

[@mendenos]

Lol this is so satisfying to watch! I just wanted to dye a certain area where I have salt stains that have burned in.

[@we_want_chilli_willy]

looks awesome dude! I have an 83 Datsun 280ZX with cruddy old grey carpet, I am definitely going to hit it with some Rit

[@markadkins673]

Nice tutorial. I think I'll be doing this in my current van project.

[@RShipwash]

Thanks for this awesome video! I am inspired and mesmerized! 🤣

[@aries69k]

Much love to you, all the way from Miami FL. Love the autism awareness details and I hope you keep going 💙❤💛💚

[@Tha360Ninja]

Did almost the same with my carpet. I used some black chalk paint mixed with water. Works perfectly and costs about the same as your method.

[@renehoustontx2981]

OOOOOMMMGGGG. YOUR A GENIOUS ! Ahhh I love this. I'm like really OCD & I know like carpet cleaners aren't good enough alone, like I mean their good, but not for really dirty stuff exp like an old used car carpet that had previous owners and stuff but OMG the pressure hose and the purple stuff and the broom scrubber thingy THEN the carpet cleaner, WOW! MY WHOLE GAME IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. Omg thank u so much, I love u ! Lol jk but this really honestly saved my life in SOOOOOOO many ways 🥰 this is amazing. Thank u(: & I also want to say thank u for showing us how to dye our carpet bcuz I've wanted black carpet in my car forever but like knew it would never happen bcuz it's too much money but this I CAN DO, like literally everything u did, I love, & the bottle I think had it had cold water around it to the top it would of worked just fine how u invisioned it, meybe like a certain size small bucket would been easier to fill higher... I'm very impressed & I love your style, I like to use rainbow colors too but wow u went way to the top ! That's way cool & lol at the end when u said about the driveway but thats really cool u pay attention to that kind of stuff(: anyways sorry I'm just hella happy I found this & learned so much from u. Ok thnx bye!

[@culturahobby]

Nice video... Thanks! Question... If carpet gets dirty in the future, can I do regular cleaning with foam cleaner? Does the paint come out? Thanks!

[@pixelupper]

Thank You sir for this great vid doing to my truck this weekend.

[@ramiroguevara2562]

Great job fella I'm thinking to do this too

[@Nj888chu]

sick stuff!! hows the dye holding up ?

[@tank8285]

Cool video. Did the carpet seem stiff or scratchy after? How well do u think black dye would cover a red carpet?

[@Boostfreak7245]

Exactly what i was looking for, brand and all lol thank you 👍

[@XiledSaint13]

Did mines bout few months earlier this year still lasting with no floor mats and me being dirt nasty low scraping my shoes across it 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a new look

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Joey Dc4 Heck Yea man!

[@elijahlopez7131]

Great video just wanted to know after a year how well it holds up. And does it dye ur shoes ?

[@mauroestrada9193]

Does the dye stain after drying up or if wet again after drying?

[@joepadilla7871]

What a beautiful job you did there now I know

[@theworldisfullofsnowflakes9546]

Awesome video. I am about to do this in my WRX. What kind of courseness for the brush/broom did you use? Do you have a material list somewhere?

[@vintageprofit]

Good video. You can throw a cup of non iodized salt in the dye bath to make sure the cotton soaks it up.

[@shaunanthony9421]

Dam you’re good at these diy videos!!! Very impressive James!!

[@hardstyle4life0]

Right lol. Hope my videos come out as clean as his one day lol

[@TexasHondaChannel]

THAT GARAGE Your videos look clean man 😎

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Shaun Anthony Thanks Shaun

[@looselipssinkships6543]

Curious how well this held up

[@Jake-im2lv]

I tried this but with the rattle can dyes and it looked alright but made the carpets really crunchy. Might try with liquid dye

[@PhOeNiXpIoLe]

Does the dye have to be hot whenever you spray it or just when you mix?

[@mojwett]

Do you think you can do it with the headliner aswell??

[@yootoob78]

How did it hold up? I used the Rit dye for nylon and it faded away within 6 months

[@GEscholtens]

What kind of paint are you using? It looks amazingly

[@ChevyS10LSUK]

Really good video, ordered some rit to do my car carpet

[@datvoltagedb7]

I used half a bottle like you did on mine and it was dark grey did a more dense bottle the 2nd time and I’m guessing it was too thick for the sprayer

[@bigcheeseman6570]

Would this work with the headliner too?

[@truth282]

Did you leave the mat attached when you sprayed it? I did this and it's still wet after 3 days of drying and it's too heavy to move

[@richardsmart9457]

You should dye the seats too bro looks good especially on the money you spent genius bro

[@Ernie239]

Did you rinse it out after your put the diy ?

[@deenibeeniable]

Does that black come off on your skin? Would it dye anything you set down on the floor?

[@mvlad7402]

Great idea. will try it

[@ALBreezyx68]

Great good👍🏻 only makes sense to dye the seats as well and save you the trouble of reinstalling the seats again lol

[@higherwrldsprodction2955]

how well does it stick?

[@xtemptatixnx8176]

Maybe get one of those pump sprayers for watering plants and u get to avoid the forearm workout

[@1ANN]

What sponge did you use?

[@Tr1xXNation]

Will it work on a soft headliner

[@joelpalmer]

Bravo well done!

[@hisoja8089]

Your videos are cherry very helpful on both channels thank you. Do you know if there's a green dye for the carpet?

[@elijahlopez7131]

Yes, the rite dye comes in a whole crap ton of different colors. So if you had fabric seats as well you could also dye those any color you wanted

[@And-ml5wm]

Awesome job.

[@andrewsigala2408]

How’s it holding up?

[@FastenDeezNutz]

Do you use a wet sponge or dry sponge?

[@mannycortes226]

Wow impressed

[@TCreatorO]

These came out looking amazing

[@562frankrivers2]

Your telling me I don’t have to stay with that blue interior I have in my civic lol...thanks now that I saw how easy it was I’m going to try it out myself thanks man.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

562Frank Rivers Heck Yea! Now I would go black if I were you because red over the top of blue might turn a little purple 😄

[@562frankrivers2]

Texas Honda Channel lol yeah your right I’ll have to go over it a few more times to get the color I want 👍

[@doloresdsmith]

Great job!

[@anaje1223]

How long does this last ?

[@bcboysentertainment3027]

Do you think this will come off on my shoes or my pants if I do this?

[@izzayaih2285]

Water to rit ratio? For example like 1/4 rit for 16oz water or sum like that

[@DesignBuildFixReview]

What brand is that shampoo machine? Came out great I had same color in camry wish I had this video then. My santa fe could use this though.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

FixmyToyota I don’t remember bought it about 2yrs ago from Walmart I think it’s a bissel

[@edubwes]

Turned up well.

[@theusedblink]

I wanna do this so bad, I just dont have the patience to take everything out and put it all back in. I'm in waxahachie, you live close? If I paid you would you do it for me?

[@mightydmax6182]

What about getting in the car with wet shoes after this was done? Have you experienced any issues with dye coming off on your shoes, etc?

[@Bristians]

Let it sit and carpet clean it after the fact

[@raulhogland7309]

Yup! I would have done the seats too while they were out of the car

[@korbinwatson6179]

i did this to my back seats in my eg it turned out well

[@ryanmenke9554]

I did exactly has he did, but my carpet was beige. It looks brown.

[@strawbeemilk8387]

Watching this because im dyeing the carpet in my boyfriends bmw + redoing the fabric on the headliner as well as the pillars 🙃

[@strawbeemilk8387]

@adsafgasgasdfasdf haven't done it yet unfortunately! I work full time so I only have the weekends off and the weekends have been reserved for the mechanical aspect of our rebuild. We're manual swapping his car

[@randomrangoon5476]

Tried the same thing after following a different persons technique but it didn't come out nearly as black. Definitely going to try your way. Any transfer to clothing etc and would it work on the plastic trim in the car as well. Like dye the plastic black?

[@joseywilds3133]

Back to black is what you want fortrim

[@uselink5-75]

I have gray interior been thinking of buying Jegs black cloth racing seats for the front and dying the rear seats black and also the carpet black.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

The Uselink Project ima get racing seats up front and dye the back ones

[@araboharabedian]

Hey I know this is an older video but how does it turn out in terms of the dye stiffening up the carpet fibers? If I use this kit properly will I still keep an oem like feel?

[@potardo9851]

Did this on my 1994 Accord Wagon. If you do the same process but wash out each coat after it sits overnight with a sprayer on a regular garden hose it will wash the extra dye out and that way it wont stain other things and will keep the same texture as it did stock when done. So dye it, let sit overnight, wash off with water, dry by shop vac, redye, sit, wash, dry by shop vac, repeat until color is satisfactory when dry. When you like the color make sure its washed out well and then vacuum and dry it really well and then you'll be golden. The texture after done or being in the car for a couple days afterwards will be the exact same as stock.

[@Angelzz1561]

How was it after drying? Did any dye transfer or stain shoes or anything like that? How was it to the touch? Did it make it stiff like those rattle can dyes do? Or no?

[@luisorozco9430]

It transferred dye on my shoes and passenger shoes. Not to mention anything testing on it. I have a 1995 accord sedan

[@digimon916]

Nice. A little more labor but cheaper and safer than spray cans

[@MrWillTryIT]

Yes

[@hardstyle4life0]

Next time you should use RIT colo stay. It bonds and protects the dye from running or fading

[@TexasHondaChannel]

THAT GARAGE Good to know man!!

[@mexicoevents4968]

Does the RIT dye make the carpet a hard material type or does it keep its soft texture

[@dougwheeler3606]

Have you used RIT dye on cloth seats with same application method?

[@hexahexametermeter]

Good way to ruin your clothes.

[@jdmchickkustomz9417]

Is your interior painted what did you paint it with it looks good

[@josiebrewer3786]

Following ^

[@igdutchktattoo6915]

Do u rinse it after? How does it do when wet and i also thought rit dyes worked better on fabrics when wet???? So why let it dry the whole time??? Jus wonderin

[@hexahexametermeter]

It will bleed black as soon as it gets wet.

[@arianamcgarrah9872]

Damnit... it didnt work on mine. I don't know if yours is different than mine, but its like it wouldn't stick to my carpet, maybe because it's polyester idk

[@IDABAYAREA650I]

*what would it look like with it on the Fabric of the seats?*

[@gkanyong4457]

Look it up

[@dp-qw4ji]

Thanks!

[@GreenHairGoblin]

yo you donate money ??

[@mannyk6104]

literally dyed my interior carpet, looked great was pretty happy with the results. Rainstorm couple weeks later and my nice white shoes got ruined 👍

[@BLACKRAIN390]

🤣👍💯💯💯

[@potardo9851]

Gotta wash all that excess dye out and use salt in the mix to help it set.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

you gotta wash all the excess out lol standard dye thing

[@CRKIDD]

Did the exact things, same dye, and now MY CARPET IS GREEN!

[@elijahcuyler5667]

how long did it take for it to turn green

[@mhcsmedia7749]

I also have this problem

[@recheveste31]

badass !

[@xothugger]

Question did you rinse out the dye after having it fully dye ? Or did you just keep it like that🤔

[@kyruson]

Yes, if you go the dye method you need to rinse out whatever doesn't stick (otherwize its going to transfer to your skin/clothing)

[@MiamiSkateVibe]

Can it be with any color ? Like red or just any color in general

[@goodandcheappodcast5144]

Any

[@bubbaguy389]

Did u ever do the seats?

[@krisbree192]

God i hope not ! i mean i can respect ur boyz hustle but if the carpet gets wet that shitz gonna stain any and evertthing it comes in contact with 😬 for the love of ur car (DONT DO THIS ) to ur ride sure way to ruin ur ride 😱 rainy dayz will bring u heartache !! No disrespect homeboy but u crazy. But if ur happy then more power to u 👍. Who knows 50/50 chance of it going south real quick. Nice civic tho keep it pushing lil buddy!!

[@cesarvillegas9424]

Good dude

[@eugeneyoung2803]

Does this feel hard and wall paint does after it dries up? I’m worried after applying the whole carpet and comes out crispy and dry like normal paint does on fabric.

[@shaynetaylor8185]

It's dye, not paint

[@d.j.9336]

What size spray bottle did you use for the dye?

[@TexasHondaChannel]

D. J. not exactly sure it was a cheap one from Walmart or dollar tree.

[@trillmexicanz]

You forgot to add the (Rit colorstay Dye fixative) that goes last, it’s to make the dye last longer and stay doesn’t stain your shoes. I did this on a car but didn’t add the colorstay fixative and it stained my shoes bad.

[@Chase004]

Mfs that wear black shoes😈

[@killgazmotron]

Believe you are supposed to wash it normally post dying, after its sit in the dye for long enough to stain. Thats what is done with everything else that is dyed with rit dye. Let the carpet sit for a night and then go in there with a bucket, sponge and soap and put in some hard elbow grease to get rid of the leftover dye material. Might take a second go through too idk.

[@luke50469]

I'm guessing this would also work for cloth seats too right?

[@kylerrhys8733]

If you did this for seats I would suggest using the carpet cleaner to wash the excess dye out (maybe let it set overnight first) because otherwise it’s gonna dye your clothes when you sit on it. Rit dye is meant to be rinsed out after. Kinda like when someone dyes their hair, same concept

[@boostedshuttle2231]

Little pressure sprayer would of been the go and way thicker plastic the 1 litre ones

[@Tierney143]

I have always wondered if you couldn’t rockguard a carpet lol

[@kyruson]

Just tried this on a MK4 VW Jetta carpet with the all purpose (non-synthetic) stuff. Followed all recommended instructions by Rit... Dye just washed off with a hose so its definatley needs the synthetic stuff

[@kyruson]

Update: synthetic didn't work either... Ended up using Dupli-Color Flat Black Vinyl & Fabric Spray Paint

[@xothugger]

@@kyrusonhow did the spray paint come out ? A lot of people were saying it makes the carpet crunchy and some of the paint flakes off

[@kyruson]

@@xothugger turned out really well considering the dye's didn't at all. I wouldn't even call it that crunchy at all. For the spray paint method just make sure you clean the carpet well (power-wash & soap or whatever) and spray with multiple light coats at different angles. Came out just about as good as it could with no flaking or color rubbing out. I've uploaded an album to imgur but I cant link it here cause youtube and their links policy (add `a/OXfWSel` to imgur's base url to see it)

[@BJ-fk9sq]

@@kyrusonhow long did you let the carpet dry?

[@ktwoodward]

I used black Rite dye to do my auto carpet. How do you treat it so it doesn’t bleed off? After 24 hours, I rubbed a white paper towel on it and the towel had black on it. And when I rubbed a wet paper towel, it bleed onto it a lot.

[@denisbosnic7955]

To enhance the color and reduce color bleeding, use Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative immediately after dyeing and before washing, following these instructions. Rinse in cool water until rinse water begins to run clear. Wash in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.

[@tamv1997]

if its a synthetic fabric -it won't dye the fabric. you'd need to use the Rit Dyemore product for synthetic fabrics

[@princenyc9271]

need to rinse it. gl on a rainy day

[@c077w3]

Gets wet and dye comes out

[@fredericklebeault3467]

I would say clean and bleach it before dying it. Then after dying it make sure to clean the carpet with pressure washer then re-dye it if necessary then pressure wash again to remove excess. But in the end it's an old civic, who cares if it's not perfect ahah

[@kevinpuma1882]

i deffs thought bleach would hold the color in better. and also maybe even used a heat gun or blow dryer before wqshing it to lock in the color a little more maybe?
