Interior Door Panels Lower Carpet

[DnStClr]

I'm re-doing the interior, and re-colored the door panels. The lower carpet-covered panels need some help. Can they be re-colored with SEM too? I read an article saying it could be done.  Here's a pic.


AND- the panel shown got damaged by a screw during shipping. What's the best way for me to repair the scratch? It's not too deep, but still needs some filler. Here's a close-up.

     Are you talking about dyeing the carpet with SEM ?  I think I have seen something also about doing that.
     As far as the scratch goes, go and get you some plastic epoxy, fill, sand, dye.  Will never know it was there.

Ditto on the screw repair.  I have see people dye carpet I just never have.

I have dyed carpet before, it works out well and cost a lot less. Just know if you are using a spray dye, a lot of light coats are your friend. If you go to heavy with "wet" coats the carpet fiber can end up sticking together and can lose the "carpet feel", but if done right, you really can not tell the difference.

There's a Duplicolor video on youtube that shows them spraying carpet with their interior paint.

OK thanks for the advice guys. I"ll look for the video. I'll repost--- if they turn out good. lol       
Thanks for resizing the pics too. I resized on photobucket, but they returned to the smaller size when I pasted here.  Some techie I am..

This is what I used on the repair-


I started sanding it down with a drill motor and sanding disc, but it didn't take long for me to see that it was actually too aggressive, so I finished with hand sanding. It was just a small job anyway.

     Can not even tell the scratch was there, great job.
