WTB: oem black carpet for coupe

[ebox86]

Looking for OEM black carpet for a coupe. I am changing the oem tan carpet from my white 91 coupe and would like to swap it out with black. Already have black seats, just looking for a carpet in fairly good condition.

I have thought about spray painting my current carpet, but im not sure how it would stand up to wear and tear.

thanks

I have thought about spray painting my current carpet, but im not sure how it would stand up to wear and tear.

I was going to suggest this. My roomate did it a year ago on his tan carpet with only 1 can of paint and it's held up pretty well. It's scrubbed off a bit where his heel rests when he's working the pedals but it'd been a bit of a rush job, he didn't prep 100% before the spray and didn't give it enough time to dry. That's the only place that's scrubbed off though. The rest of the carpet looks great and in a vert too.

If you used 2 cans of paint (one barely covered the whole thing, you might want to be safe and use 2) and actually cleaned the carpet thoroughly, I'm sure yours would turn out more solid. Just make sure you wash the carpet and use the right paint. And let it sit for a day to dry completely.

We used vinyl paint they sell at autozone. If you decide to go this route, once it's dried, parts of the carpet might be crusty or stiff but if you walk around on the carpet a bit it softens up back to how the original material feels
