Back when I had my FC I used that fabric spray.

It worked pretty good, but if you spray it on too heavy at once, it makes the carpet hard.

I went from grey to black, but what I did to give it a more factory plush look, was after a coat of spray I would let it dry, then brush (hair brush not comb)the carpet. This would break up any clumps and hard spots. Then vacumed it to remove dust and gave it a respray.

You will go through a couple more cans , but the look is much nicer.

They only problem I had was that the colour did wear a bit in the dead pedal area beside the floor mat.



Cheers

Shawn

Yea painting the panels and replacing the carpet is a pretty popular modification in some circles.

I am not a big fan of painting interior panels. But someday I'll swap out my interior for some black.
