Carpet question

[83grocerygetter]

Has anyone used Newark carpets from J C Witney, I used ACC carpets in an ElCamino and they faded within a year here in Fl. trying to find out if these are any better. I'm working on a Cutlass wagon and would like to replace the carpets.

Can you re-dye your faded carpet? Sometimes you can. And it would be a whole lot cheaper. If it's already gotten crispy/brittle, you may not have much luck, but I would think after 1 year it shouldn't be toasted that badly.

It is possible to recolor the carpet but the cost of everything may run more than a new one. Also add the labor involved with having to brush out the carpet after every coat just to keep the fibers from clumping together.

Vince,
I've heard of Newark carpet before, but have not known anyone that actually used it. I remember you putting the ACC carpet in your old El Camino and was surprised at how much it faded.
In my wagon I also went with the ACC brand, but went with the mass backed carpet. It's almost like using OEM carpet which is molded and has a firm backing.

I thought ACC was making all the automotive carpet for all the vendors. Maybe someone else knows more info ?
