I've got a carpet dye job scheduled next week. Although it is rare for me to dye a carpet, I have used the SEM and high tech rattle can brands in the past. I've always gotten great results except for the vinyl/plastic non-removeable mat that is in the footing area on many vehicles.

I spray directly over the matting when dying entire carpets (of the train wreck kind) and it always looks like new except for the matte finish it leaves on the mat. I've found no way to cover this area and have the dye job be seamless.

Anyone know how to make this material take on a natural gloss? Thanks guys.
