Painted my carpet. What ya think?

["350Vortec"]

So, after attempting to take the seat bolts out and snapping two. I decided to quit and just tape everything off and paint. Used Silver DupliColor Vinyl and Fabric Paint. Thats only two cans. I plan on getting four or five more for the rest of the truck.

Here is before what the carpet looked like, that was a good section lol.

Not as good as replacing the carpet but. Its nice for a work truck. And for the $40 worth of cans. Not $270 for a replacement carpet.

And yes, I am going to paint the lower door panel where the carpet is. I hate the rusted speaker grilles

Glad i could get you thinking . I like cheap little things like this to make my truck look better. Im still looking to do a new muffler. Midas just quoted me $300 to put just a muffler on! Thats ridiculous!

Does it smell like spray paint?

Does it smell like spray paint?

Nope. I left the windows open over night in my garage with a fan blowing on it. Smells fine. If i still have some left over scent ill pour some coffee grounds on it. Works a charm.

not too shabby. must of had some rusty seat bolts huh? snapping 2? shit, ididnt snap any of mine throughout the whole truck yikes! thats alrite tho, you live and learn.. maybe apply heat next time and take your time getting em out..

[foreverfalcon40]

YOUR WELCOME! I'm going to be doing the same...not sure if in black or not!

[destroyer1362]

Yeah thats what I was thinking for mine. But I wonder if going from gray to black would require much more paint. Not to mention that 4 door = more paint

I payed 240 for my exhaust. 1, 40 series flow master out the side with extra pipe to fill in where i cut off the cats. sold my cats to a recycle place for 40. :)

[foreverfalcon40]

Hows the paint holdin up?

[DesTRucTO]

If your referring to me... its holding up great. I work at a carwash and iv ehad it washed and a tire dismounted for a flat repair and all the paint is still in tact :)

[96ProCompTahoe]

thats a damn good idea! i have a few spots in the back from the spare that need to be fixed.
