We have carpet paint. Comes in black, grey and beige. To be honest though, I haven't tried it yet. Mostly it's designed to cover tough salt stains so I don't know how it would work on large areas. If you are interested, I will get the name of it.

 

Sounds weird, I know.....

20 years ago i used rattle can black paint to change carpet colour

2coats and brushed in between. Tada. Perfect

Dont use gloss. Satin or flat

Brush between coats

Couldnt tell the difference

I have used rattle can paint also.

But better still, Floral paint is perfect. ( used in design of fresh flowers) Its permanent. dries super fast, seals and becomes quite water/stain resistant doesn't clump. Weird, I know but it works. I had to paint a faux fur coat with it .......don't ask.....and not now Danwink.

If you need some, I can get ya some and ship it to ya no prob.

SEM makes a great carpet paint. Best interior paint I've used to date.
Brushing inbetween coats is exactly whats needed.

I've never painted carpet, but if SEM makes it, it will work. I painted the seatbelts in my car with SEM rattle can dye, and it's been on there many years.
