good thoughts i have been documenting with pics.do you think that would curb resale concern? I sure would like sound proofing&look.but not at a reasale hit.thanks!this web site rocks!
If anything I would use lizard skin, sand smooth and top coat. Then you actually do have something that looks like the factory finish that possible buyers shouldnt question or factory correct guys wouldnt look at with disdain knowing they would have to remove it all and repaint.
Bedliner / insulator / chip guard styp stuff anywhere but in the rear wheel wells and or above the gas tank is going to have people wondering. And the grain material tends to grab and hold dirt / dust.....well, it always did on the bedlined / lineX'd trucks I owned. I'd use lizard skin or I would just paint it and focus my deadening / insulation on the interior side.
Alot of builders are using Raptor liner from Upol. It is not thick at all, looks like very heavy orange peel, and hard as nails so easy to clean and tintable.
If resale is a concern then there isn't much point in changing anything on these cars as you never get out what you put in. I put POR on the inside of my car and once it warms up I'm going to throw some of the raptor stuff on the bottom and in the wheel wells. Not putting anything on the frame though because once I get out of school I'll probably galvanize and powder coat it.
I used gator guard spary on bedliner. It is a two part epoxy that once curred it is unaffected by oils. That is the main reason I went with it. I will have to say spraying it is a messy job and it gets everywhere!! I don't care about resale and our car is not stock or an SS so I was not concered with that. Haveing the body off of the frame and covering everything up as a precaution payed off.
I said it's a messy job.
I had to lay on the plastic and shoot upwards. It dripped down plus the spray would deflect. My wife was holding a large peice of cardboard against the car to help stop the overspray.
I did primer and use chassis black paint before I sprayed the bedliner. It needs a clean surfice to attach to.
I just used chassis paint, I didn't want to spray upside down so I used foam brush's. It looks awesome. Its a lot stronger than regular paint, doing the same thing on the inside of the car.
