Staining or painting the floor hump mat?

[ramdough]

Anyone have a way to refresh or change the color of the floor hump mat? I know scrubbing works, but if I wanted a black or gray hump, is the a way to color it?

Thanks!

I used the original one as a template and made a new one out of black material that matched the original material.

There are spray on vinyl dies that work pretty darn good. They do wear off over time but a quick clean and spray and all is like new

Did you cut the seams on the old mat or were you able to make a template without doing that?

Any recommendation on brand or a specific one?

Wonder how the Plasticoat stuff would work? Would probably scrub off for repair when needed. Won't peel off like on a smooth surface car though. Might scrub off with use too though??

I saw that..... I just don’t have the desire to u stitch the floor mat, trace it, cut a new one, then stitch it together again. That sounds like a lot of work I won’t enjoy.

Now stains and paints..... that is easy for me.

I wouldn't paint. It just rubs right off.

Dyes would be far better, but rubber doesn't like to change colors

Just leave it alone
Pull the entire hump off and look at all those things that got "forgot" in all the PM's since she was new.

There is over 1111 systems on the truck to work on without color.
Did you grease and lube every one of the points called out in the TM's?

Google it you will find many options. For me I think a new replacement material might be better. While the original stuff is good it is also old and even new stuff is old. NOS rubber items are not a great option. Looks great until you flex it then you are back to square one.
