Hi Andy,

The best product is a lacquer type of spray paint since the carpets are 
synthetic. I used a product supposedly for carpets but it smelled like 
any other vinyl color paint sold by the same manufacturer.

That is unless they are pure wool then a dye would be best.

I once did this to a sun faded carpet to restore the black and it 
looked great. You should also steam clean them first to get better 
results.
