Not sure if this is in the right area or not. I am looking a doing some sound deadening but looking for a cheaper solution than Dynomat and came across this product. Was curious if anyone had used it before and what your thoughts are on it.

I've never used it, but they showed a test on muscle car with a hot plate and a ice cube. If it actually works I would like to use it on my 68 project

We've used it in the shop on the last few custom cars that we are doing and so far, it is all as advertised. It also is a much more thorough product as it is sprayed on and it gets into all the cracks and joints. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

Good info thanks Mike

It appears there are two different options, the ceramic insulation and the sound control. Which one is better, or do you use both?

They are two different products but can be used together on top of each other. Ceramic obviously heat reduction and the other for noise.
Watch out though there is an order to put them on. cant remember which goes first. but if you get it reversed one part doesn't work well. Just for the sheer weight savings is why i'm going to use this on my brand new floors. Hate to cover them but don't want to be sizzling at the stop lights being miserable like i'm in a frying pan.

I've used the sound deadener on my '70. I got it at a very decent price, and I used a narrow roller to apply it. I used it on the underside of the roof, inside the doors (like to seal the existing factory sprayed stuff which was lifting in a few places) I also tried to get it onto the inside of the quarters behind the quarter glass. Spraying would probably have gotten more product into more difficult areas, but at the same time, it might have been harder to control where you didn't want it to go.
I can't vouch for it's effectiveness yet, as the car hasn't been on the road or out in the sun.

I think the ceramic heat reducing product would be applied first, but not sure on that.

There are less expensive solutions than Dynamat such as Rattle Trap from an eBay vendor.

I did a car with Lizard Skin Ceramic spray on insulation after witnessing the hot plate demo. For a test, I placed a hair dryer about 6" below the floor. THERE WAS NO TEMP DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNDERSIDE AND TOP OF FLOOR.

CONCLUSION: I use Rattle Trap covered with foil backed bubble wrap from Home Depot/Lowes

Cory can you give us more information on your test? how did you measure the surface temps?

 

[marxjunk]

theres a much much cheaper way to do it, i have the link on my laptop and will post it tomorrow, a scientist figured out what it is and tells how to make it at home, pennies on the dollar...ahh..i did have it on this computer...read thru the whole post

Thermometer on both sides yielded a 2-5* temp differential after 10 minutes of hair dryer pointed at bottom of floor pan 10" away

Just sprayed it in my 56 210 a couple of weeks ago. Got it thru Summit, bought the gun, too. I went with the original formula, on the recommendation of a friend who swears by it. Sprayed easy, covered well.

They are applying it to my 70 chevelle now at the body shop. The ceramic coating not only provides heat insulation, but noise reduction to an extent (although they also carry a sound deadener version). My painter has put it in his last 3 cars including his daily driver diesel truck. The guy swears by it. He insisted I have it sprayed in my car and offered to do it for free if I supplied him the material.
