You can use "Paint" that comes with Windows "if you're a PC".
Procedure is here - http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?p=99344#99344
Limit pics to roughly 800x600 to avoid completely pissing-off anyone using a dial-up connection, and for simple aesthetics for the rest of us.

i dyed my carpets in the Martini rep i had, they were a really shitty grey all faded.

so, and very high tech guys so try and stay with me....

i put about 10 sachets of back to black Jean's fabric dye, in a 50 gallon drum with a feckload of hot water and dumped in all the carpets.

then i sealed it up and went on the piss with the lads. (its Irish for " i went and got drunk")

after my hangover died down and i wasn't so succeptible to fumes i drained it then hung the carpets over the washing line, and lay in the sun and slept.

then when they were dry i hosed them down and rubbed them to remove any extra dye, of which there was practically none.


I hope this has been of help, and i know it seems a very technical way (sarcasam) of solving a simple problem but it passed a few days last summer and worked for me.
