<VV> Carpet Paint

[Bucketboss at aol.com]

I used to work many years ago at an auto detailing shop and we used to  paint 
all black carpets with lacquer. Regular lacquer doesn't get gummy in the  
carpets. Vacume them first, spray them, wait a while and vacume them again. They  
look like new if they are just faded.
 
I thought I would try this on my '65 w/ turquoise interior. I got a pint of  
lacquer from a local auto paint shop matched to the turquoise interior color.  
Sprayed them out of the car and not too heavily..... it worked great. The  
carpets look like new and are original.
 
I have done this many times w/ the same results, mostly with cars from the  
60's so I can't say what it would do to a newer carpet. I thought this tip 
might  be useful to put in your bag of tricks.
