<p>1)Use low pile, not medium/high pile.&nbsp; The paint covers and adheres better. The carpet in the sample photo is a medium/high pile.<br />2) Consider how well your choosen color will cover on your carpet color. Coverage of grey paint on grey carpet is great. However, coverage of red paint on grey carpet is "less great".<br />3) Give yourself about 12 days from start to finish, and you defiitley need a clean climate controlled environment to work in.<br />4)Dont try and fake large color inlays, stick with stencils.</p>
