Hot Rods Need gold carpet

I am trying to source a gold carpet to compliment the colour of the roadster.In Australia it is impossible.I have even looked at house carpet
(which I used successfully in the Hudson) but nothing close.
It is only a small amount,floor in cabin of a channelled 32 roadster and some for the trunk.
Here are shots from another post of the car colour.

 

Hey mate, Try daytona carpets. I have orange carpet in my pontiac, its killer stuff!

 

I had gold/tan in my 23 and it was a huge mistake. I couldn't keep it clean and it showed every footprint. They guy who bought the car from me changed to black and it was something I was going to do if I kept the car. Just thought I should mention that.

I think black carpet with the little fleck sparkles in it would compliment the color better by contrasting it. Do you know what kind of carpet I'm talking about?

Its like this.....

 

purchase some white and have it dyed the shade of gold you want!

 

I got old style loop carpet from Auto Custom Carpets, Inc. The gold I chose is #20 and item number is 16013. At the time (2010) it was about $30/yard. Their service was great and I'm happy with the color. I had enough left over to make a pair of floor mats so the actual carpet is protected. Here's a link: www.accmats.com They also ship worldwide. Hope that helps ya.

 

It's usually labeled as "trinidad" carpet 1951Streamliner . It's getting hard to find.

that ought save your ***..

 

Rock Auto ships gold carpet to Australia??? Seems unlikely.

 

Firstly thanks for all the responses.I know that I could have problems keeping it clean and I did think about black also.I think it will clash too much with the white trim.The carpet colour in the photo here complements the trim colour.

 

This reply and my visit to the trimmer started me thinking about a "shiny"
black pile with the sparkle or maybe a gold thread in the black carpet.

I am checking with some US suppliers now and hope for some results.

 

I bought some black with gold thread trinidad carpet a few years back. I like the look. Good luck finding it.

 

I am about to finish the upholstery in my pickup (gold) with white seat. I have been trying to get the trinidad carpet either with the gold and/or silver fleck. Really hard to get and am yet to find some. I am just going to settle on plain black I think.

Let us know if you find some.

Looks like I have found a source for the Trinidad black with gold thread.
I haven't actually seen it and have asked for a pic to make sure it is what I want.
Anyone else have a photo?I think it will look good with the gold car colour and will be more serviceable than a straight gold carpet.

Muzz I will let you know either here or by PM on where you can get it.

 

That is who I am now dealing with.Very prompt reply to my email.
I am hoping they can supply a photo.Anyone else with a photo?

 

sorry to reply to an old thread but did you ever find a source for the Trinidad black/gold thread carpet?
