NewJersey Kendall Park New Jersey, US Vehicle Designer	I want to spray painted the carpet on my subwoofer box... its currently ugly grey and i do not want to take it off because it would be a bitch to because the glue is so old... what would happen if i spray painted it.. would it just harden up and flake off.. is there something i can use or what?

nick06tc Virginia, US Scion Guru	It wouldnt be to terribly hard to remove the old. Just start pulling, use a razorblade scraper if need be. Autozone has an awesome one!!! It has a red handle and a replaceable razor on the end. I used it to peel off a parking complex sticker that was on the inside of my window near the dash, VERY SMALL SPACE. And it worked great. Then go to pep boys/autozone/etc and get some carpet. $9.00 a roll!! Buy some spray adhesive (kinda pricey) and apply it. I have a thread on how to do it, look for my MDF build thread.

nick06tc Virginia, US Scion Guru	Oh and spray paint would be a bad bad idea. Crapet is flexible and moves, paint is hard and doesnt. Stuff the flexes with paint on it flakes off.

Beckaz_tC Mesa Arizona, US Scion Guru	I was just at JoAnne's fabric store this weekend and they have a fabric paint! It comes in a few different colors. I am going to try it out on my headliner once I can figure out how to take it off. And it's suppose to be permanent and it's cheap. Try using that
[#] Sep 30, 2008 11:17am
NewJersey Kendall Park New Jersey, US Vehicle Designer	cool any fabric store shud have it?... im going to go now to look for some around town...
[#] Sep 30, 2008 01:46pm
Beckaz_tC Mesa Arizona, US Scion Guru	^Yeah I would think so. It's just like the fabric dye but it is in a spray can

el_bori_nj Bloomfield New Jersey, US Window Washer	why go through all that just reupholster...
[#] Sep 30, 2008 09:47pm
07BsptC Lake Charles Louisiana, US Master Mechanic	yeah if u spraypainted it it would clump, and flake off, which would be more trouble than just cutting it off, like nick said, just get a razor blade and have at it -PitchBlackTc07

Crash Clovis New Mexico, US Godlike Advisor	Dude, have all the carpet taken off, and rhino line that shit. You know, the spray on bedliner stuff. Indestructible sub box with a perfect seal and no flex! The SEARCH feature on the site works, I promise. USE IT!!! "I almost numchucked you, you dont even reallise!!" -Will Ferrell-

06tCdude San Antonio Texas, US Master Mechanic	duplicolor makes a paint for carpet. look it up custom doesnt come from mommy and daddy I DONT street race, I QUICKLY accelerate against other cars
[#] Sep 30, 2008 10:56pm
NewJersey Kendall Park New Jersey, US Vehicle Designer	that rhino line is prolly expensive right, and wont it make it maddd heavy... and why not just spray it with a 9 dollar paint made for it rather than going through a whole hassle of reupholstering.. maybe ill just try it on the botttom ofthe box and see how it comes out before i do the whole thing
[#] Sep 30, 2008 11:08pm
Crash Clovis New Mexico, US Godlike Advisor	Yeah, it would make the box heavy. If you have a sub box and some subs in there, why do you care about weight anyway. My car dont feel any slower because I have subs, and I dont take it to the track, so lets make my car heavy as hell, but sound gooooood. The SEARCH feature on the site works, I promise. USE IT!!!

NewJersey Kendall Park New Jersey, US Vehicle Designer	^ your right.. did you do this to your box? or have a pic of anyones like it
[#] Sep 30, 2008 11:14pm
Crash Clovis New Mexico, US Godlike Advisor	Nah, Ive seen it done, looks pretty good in my opinion. Plus, you can paint that stuff however you want. The SEARCH feature on the site works, I promise. USE IT!!! "I almost numchucked you, you dont even reallise!!" -Will Ferrell-

NewJersey Kendall Park New Jersey, US Vehicle Designer	ill probably just try the upohlstry paint and ill let u guys know how it is...

dhowton Georgia, US Tech Advisor	There is a paint you can get at autozone that is for interiors and carpeting and stuff. If it is shaggy carpet it will be alittle harder than it was before but I didnt have any trouble with it flaking. Typical sub box carpet isnt that long so I think you shsould be able to paint it and not have any trouble. I also used a soft bristled brush to get it alittle smoother. But it will still be alittle rough no matter what. Hope that helps
