Carpet replacement question

[ronmarabito2002]

Oh, It's good carpet, but I think the carpet work into the metal
edging was the problem. The balance of the carpet is fine.

On our last coach, '81FC31'SB it was kind of a orangeish redish and we
always wanted to change it but didn't. Someone before me had painted
it with the standard BB blue-silver-dark gray and the carpet didn't
match. Oh well. The new owner wasn't bothered and must be happy
since I've never heard from him.
