Although I can't comment on the effectiveness of its insulation and sound dampening properties, at this time, I will comment on its appearance and application.
I spent the $300+ for the gun and 2-gallon bucket to do the job.
Spraying it on: Hard to tell if you're spraying it too thick, too thin, or just right. You'd find out it was too thick when it would start to sag. It stuck good, and was easy to clean up. (wipes off with water before it's fully cured). The gun would plug occasionally. I may not have stirred it enough, but the directions say not to stir it too much, or you'll damage the ceramic particles in it.
Drying time: It was dry enough to touch an hour after sprayed, except where it was too thick. It was soft, but no-longer sticky.
Finish: Here's where I was dissappointed. I was expecting a Rhino-Liner type finish - something durable and easy to clean, and semi-gloss black. This is FLAT black, and has such a rough texture, I feel it will mark easily, and definitely won't stay "clean" - dirt will stick to it, and not just wash away.
Quantity: I bought a 2-gallon bucket, and did the entire bottom side of the car, and the floors inside. I had about 3/4" left in the bottom of the bucket when done - about enough to do the insides of the doors, and some other small areas where sound insulation would be nice.
I didn't spray the inside of the trunk, because I didn't have it prepped well enough (inside floors I just vaccumed and sprayed - trunk doesn't get coevered with carpet, so I want to be a little more thorough), and I want something that's not going to look dirty the first time I haul something - I'll probably Rhino-line the trunk, but that can wait until another time. I gotta get the car assembled for the trip to Nashville!
