Thanks for this. Recently bought a car with tan OEM mats that have some light stains where evidently someone cleaned them improperly and removed the color. Will try this process as I think it will make the color uniform and cover the stains.
Have you tried this on rubber car mats? Tan mats were discontinued for my car, and are like hen's teeth to find. The black mats I have, just do not look right.
you should do a test of the rustoleum fabric/vinyl paint vs rustoleum ultra cover paint (which is formulated to adhere well to plastics) on the carpet to see which covers better.... i think you will find the ultra cover does a better job due to the higher pigment content.... automotive upholstery is nothing more than woven plastic, as well as most modern upholstery/carpets/curtains in homes.... and try using a soft brush on it while it still wet to work it in and even it out...
Ur suppose to scrub it in there first coat…. Wtv they say to do don’t listen to everybody and there tricks try this for fabric… put a super heavy first coat and as u paint while it’s wet scrub it in with a medium nylon brush…. Let that tac up then do a light coat to even out as much as u can… then another good heavy coat and as u paint lay it even throughout and u should be good… don’t need 3-4 coats to do it like this because u will need 2 cans per seat maybe even 5 cans for the 2 front seats together
Why didn't you just buy a tan mat? It would have probably cost less than what you spent on paint. Check out a RUclips video on spray painting. You are supposed to brush in the paint when covering carpet. Follow the directions on the back of the can.
Omg thanks for this. I just bought the Arnolds in the beige and wanted to see the color. It looks like itll match my carpet i got some bleach stains on 😥lol and im about to move and i want my deposit back lol hopefully this fixes up the stains!
Hey I am doing exactly the same thing I'm moving and need to cover a bleach stain in 1 area &a dark stain from a whole bag of charcoal that broke open how did it work out 4 u
u should look into basic can spraying technique, very simple thing. u dont wanna hold the spray like that... gets build up. also lets u rattle the can to mix it up between sprays
Good subject matter...that stuff is gonna make a stuff feel on synthetic fabrics. But - Mr ummm...panda, respectfully-please ask an uncle, friend or watch a RUclips video if you have no one...to learn HOW to use spray paint...first. omg. You apply it like you should spray mosquito repellent on a friend's arms on a campout. Doing tutirials on youtube? Come on.

Helps if you use a hard bristle brush in between coats to drive the paint deeper
Exactly! It’s practically a requirement to brush paint into carpet to do it right. ✌️
Entertaining, Thanks. FYI I’ve seen tan floor mats at dollar stores.
Nice. What is the mat made of? I am wondering about a polyester mat.

Big fan of Rust-Oleum products. Painting carpet might be too much of a challenge since most are dyed. Cheers
You may want to dampen the carpet and then scruff it up with a brush before it dries to help get it in the fibers and to soften it
Would have been better just soaking them in hot water and Clorox. I did. Came out awesome and I redyed them using rit
Is there 1 type of spray can product that will do a cars door panel that has plastic and leather materials that will cover both ?

trick is to have just hair damp very light coats then brush with scrub brush between coats it will cover all and not have that caked on paint feel
Great tip, Rodder Files!
Dont encourage him.

Yup spray and brush in. Madness. Just spray instead. What. FFS
Is the carpet crunchy after painting?

How bad is the smell of paint?

Brush between coats it’ll stay soft.
Not a fair comparison to do multiple coats more of one than the other. Also guy, doing from black to anything is a ridiculous comparison.
U should have used primer prior.
Try rit dye
What a Bozo! Mistake number 1 you don't have a controlled environment. Outdoors? Really? 8 to 10-inch spray pattern not observed, this is so wrong.
Really Mr Panda. Nobody paints floor mats. Step up your game. Give us a seat or seat cover at the least. Maybe try a door panel.

Waste of time
