the dye stuff comes out fine paint makes it clumpy... i myself have the doodoo brown int. i got a sohc(feels better) black carpet for 5 bucks. condition wise was 8 1/2-10. if my old carpet was decient i would dye it. but old one had 6 holes in it(smalest being 4 inch's biggest was about a 1foot square... paint is easyer and cheaper but can clump the fibers together... dye gets a even look and doesnt clump the carpet up
