I customized a $4.95 Walmart product to give my car a better look
CUSTOM floor mats can enhance the aesthetics of your car – but finding a design you like isn’t always easy.
TikTok user @kay.waii offers drivers the opportunity to personalize their floor mats with a $4.95 Walmart product.

The $4.95 product is a clear floor mat that you can cut with scissors to fit your vehicle’s interior dimensions.
Clear doormats allow you to use spray paint that changes the color of the mat.
Kay begins her custom car mat tutorial by placing her mats face down on a ground-protecting tarp.
Kay spray-paints her mats and emphasizes the importance of letting the paint dry between coats.
She notes that she allowed her coats of paint to dry for 24 hours before putting the mats in her car.
The paint TikTok Kay uses is Rust-Oleum® American Accents® 2X Ultra Cover Paint + Primer in Gloss Candy Pink.
Kay reminds viewers to let the paint dry in good weather by pointing her camera at the sky and writing, “Please don’t rain.”
A caption on TikTok indicates that Kay applied three coats of spray paint.
Kay seals her pink color coats with Rust-Oleum® American Accents 2X Ultra Cover 2X Ultra Cover™ in Matte Clear.
The auto hack expert instructs her listeners to place their mats face up, and notes that painting the bottom keeps your shoes from scratching the paint.
In the comments section, Kay gets honest with her viewers, saying, “I’m going to be really honest with you guys. It ended up leaving a little color on the carpet, but I’m confident I can work it out. I would suggest maybe putting plastic on the floor. I can do that and do an update video.”
TikTok users shared their DIY car floor mat ideas in the comment section of the tutorial.
One TikTok user said: “I would leave them clear and put LED strips on top to make them glow! Wire it to your floor lights and they light up when you open your door!”

Kay replied, “Now that’s an idea.”
