u can actually, B'n'Q do a fabric spray. spray it on the seats n anything else fabric like door cards. check it out... otherwise vauxhall do black carpet for just below 100 or from a scrapyard at bout 10er (but its rare to find one)

Well, yes you can buy paint to spray fabric. But carpets are made from carpet not fabric. You will end up witha shite looking interior, and youll regret doing it.

isnt the carpet made from nylon fibres, therefore paint wont stick to it(so ive been told)once youve brushed against it a few times the paint begins to peel arf,was recommended to buy a new full carpet from vaux instead of tryin to paint

this made me laugh.

Still a kind of fabric though isn't it! It's like saying my clothes are made from clothes not fabric

I agree with you though mate, it'll look shite.
