Painting carpets with chalk paint

Question

Has anyone ever tried to paint a carpet with chalk paint? Did you find that it went hard? Did you seal it with wax? I have seen some postw where stenciling has been very successful but I am looking to paint he whole carpet.  I would really appreciate any feedback on this idea as I don't want to buy a whole new carpet for a rental property. Thank you for your help and ideas.

Make sure your landord is aware of anything you around the property and get his /her permission in writing. Painting or dying carpeting is a hit or miss. What is the carpet made of, what is the current color, what kind of pile does it have. I 've never done it and probably wouldn't consider it.

Hello not sure about paint I have however dyed carpet with rit dye in a large sprayer.  Mixed it up sprayed it on till wet let dry a couple hours then used a carpet shampooer to extract as much moisture as possible. When it is fully dry I shampooed again to get up any residue. Worked even better on upholstery.

I chalk painted a couch. It did stiffen up with drying, but with use has softened up quite a bit and is quite comfortable. If you have berber carpet, you may be able to do it, but I will tell you from experience that it takes a very stiff brush and a lot of paint! I like the dye in a spray bottle idea! :)
