my input is, I did this 3 years ago on my ej8-4, the carpet now attracts any kind of fuzzy substance, forcing me to either

A: get a new OEM carpet or;

B: touch up the black stiff carpet every month or so.

Personally I didnt like the cheap feel the carpet gave after the paint. It did end up bleeding out.

I ended up using the carpet as a bon-fire substance, and got an oem one from the junk yard. Now I have to replace my door panels too because the dye is chipping off, and the fabric inserts are now caked in white fuzz/ash, and not even a brush or shampoo will soften it up.

just my experience

Can you elaborate with a part # or car these are supposed to be for? When I search I don't see any description for black, all I see is classy gray and Exc Charcoal

GREAT DIY

hondamatic88 · 01-29-2008, 03:12 PM

did you brush out the carpet with a wire brush? if you dont it really only becomes a surface color. you will notice the old coler when the carpet gets moved around with your feet. when i did mine i used SEM and it said the "best" results were when you painted, brushed, painted etc...etc...anyway mine lasted for 3 years and had no problems

XREDLINE2 · 01-29-2008, 05:05 PM

yea, although that carpet looks really expletiveing good, i don't think spray paint and carpet are suposed to go together. my buddy used a liquid dye and even that comes off kinda quick. he's re-done the carpet in his integra twice in the last two years

buying new carpet sucks but if u really want it to look good and last that's probably the best option. i don't know if the spray paint quick fix is ftw, because even though it's inexpensive- in the long run it's really just 'cheap.'

but to each his own. and it does look damn good. lol

go to your dealership and ask them. its for the 96-00 civics. they no longer carry the other color mats. just the black.

i just did it, used the same stuff the op used. i did it in grey so it took me some extra cans, about 6 for my carpet all together.

EusebioSam19 · 03-09-2009, 10:27 PM
