Default Changin interior color

Well the civic that I got has the brown interior, and brown is ugly. The dash is already blue and white (from the previous owner) and I bought blue racing seats. So i was wondering if anyone knew where to buy that "carpet paint" that detailers use to make the carpet look new again, because I was going to paint the carpet to black or blue. Thanks

One place I know where you can get them is at JCWhitney. For carpet and seat it will cost you $10 each plus there is always shipping.

I haven't gone and picked up the car yet (i am going on the 9th to get it) so I will post pictures as soon as i get out there. (i am from iowa and the car is in michigan) I will be sure to snap some pictures of the blue and white on brown so you guys can get a good laugh. Well I found the paint on jc whitney's website and I just was wondering if you guys think I should go blue or black with the carpet. I am leaning towars blue cuz I think it would make it look good once I finish the rest of the car in white and blue (oh and the exterior is white) and with the blue racing seats. Then I will put down some diamond plate or maybe red floormats.

you know i have been thinking more about it. And that might be a bit to much rice for me. I think i will just go with black carpet.

you know, if the carpet dye thing doesn't work out, you could always buy new uphholstery fabric from places like Wal-Mart pretty cheap.

they come in big honking rolls and all you have to do is cut it, and then glue it to the floor board.

people who buy work trucks use 'em a lot.
