Faded Carpet

My 74's black carpet has faded. Is there a good die I can use until I get it changed out?

RIT fabric dye, you can get it at the grocery store in the cleaning isle

Tab, How are you gonna use that? Put the carpets in the washer? You sure wouldn't want to pour that on the carpets in the car or on the ground where you didn't want a big permanent mess.

I would use a spary can of dye from PepBoys of someplace.

What is with the shifter knob? Is it wood?

Yes, the knob is some kinda wood. have not cleaned it up yet. I plan on getting a Momo anyway.

They actually make a carpet spray dye that you can get at auto parts stores that works fairly well.

the spray dye works well as long as you don't try to change from the original color of the carpet. ask me how i know.
