Re: dyeing carpet
I bought some Ritz dye, It comes in a powder. I put it in a quart spray bottle with water and sprayed on my black carpet. My carpet was faded pretty bad and looks brand new.

Re: dyeing carpet
I know that my way might sound like a halfa$$ way to do it, But it's cheap, it's easy and it works.

Re: dyeing carpet
I've also used the spray can for the seats in my chevelle and it worked very well and has lasted for 3 years now.
