I customized a $4.95 Walmart product to give my car a better look

CUSTOM floor mats can heighten your car's look but it's not always easy to find a design you like.

TikTok user @kay.waii has come up with a way to let drivers personalize their floor mats with a cheap Walmart product.

The $4.95 item is a clear floor mat that you can trim with scissors to fit your vehicle's interior dimensions.

Clear floor mats allow you to use spray paint that changes the mat's color.

Kay begins her custom car mat tutorial by placing her mat's face down on the ground-protective tarp.

She then sprays her mats and emphasizes the importance of letting the paint dry between coats.

Kay notes that she let her paint coats dry for 24 hours before placing the mats in her car.

The paint is "Rust-Oleum American Accents 2X Ultra Cover paint + primer in Gloss Candy Pink.

Kay reminds her viewers to let the paint dry in good weather by aiming her camera at the sky and writing, "please don't rain."

A caption in the TikTok notes that Kay applied three coats of spray paint.

Kay seals her pink paint coats with "Rust-Oleum American Accents 2X Ultra Cover 2X Ultra Cover in Matte Clear.

The car hack expert instructs her audience to place their mats face up and notes that painting the bottom will keep your shoes from scuffing the paint.

In the comment section, Kay gets honest with her readers, saying, "It did end up leaving a little paint on the carpet, but I’m confident I can get it out. I’d suggest maybe putting plastic on the bottoms. I may do that and do an update video."

TikTok users shared their DIY car floor mat ideas in the tutorial's comment section.

One TikTok user said, "I would leave them clear and put led strips on them, so they glow up! Wire it to your floor lights, and then they light up when you open your door!"

Kay responded, "Now THAT’S AN IDEA."

Kay notes that this video is great for people who want floor mats in a specific color and material.
