Dyes to match tan factory carpet?

[matt351]

Hey guys, I know that there are companies out there like Colorbond and SEM that make aerosol spray dyes for carpets and interior panels. Does anyone know what shade would best match the factory color on a 2000 Eddie Bauer? There are a lot of choices, and I'd like for it to be as close as possible of a match. The Joker who used to own my truck had somehow gotten blue pen on the carpet in 2 spots. When I tried to clean it I ended up making 2 larger blue spots!

I have had success using cheapo hair spray.

I have removed minor ink stains from a headliner and carpet using a Rug Doctor machine rented at a local grocery store. Used the upholstery hose attachment and their upholstery solution.
