Eastwood's Heat and Sound Barrier Coating

[mustang7173]

All,

This looks really interesting. According to Eastwood, this product should save time and money by having one product provide both sound and heat insulation.

Similar to Lizard Skin which is what I used. 1 gal of sound deadner and ceramic coating is about $85.00 each. 1-1/2 gal of Eastwood is $199.00 so basically the same price. The ceramic coating works really well. I can't feel the heat on the floor board where previously the heat was making my rubber insert for the carpeting soft. Also great behind the headliner if you live in a hot climate to keep the roof area cool.

All,

Anybody on the forum used either the Lizard skin solution to heat and sound insulation?

jbojo, Did you consider the Dyna-mat or some other insulation mat before Lizard skin?

Yes I did consider that. I wanted to do all the inside voids so I opted to spray insulation. Lizard Skin in my case. I sprayed the inside of the front doors, front fenders, roof, trunk and all of the cubby holes in the back seat areas. This also strengthened the roof, when you tap on the roof now it doesn't seem hollow and doesn't flex. I think its pretty good, cuts out a lot of the exhaust noise and heat, I can actually listen to the radio while driving.

jbojo,

Fantastic! That does seem to be a better solution due to the fact of being able to get into the knooks and crannies of the mustang. Thank You for the pictures too!

There is also a cheap lizardskin substitute you can make with glass beads added to your paint

Same stuff, but you can use the paint of your choice.

Lizard skin and what Jeff linked is the one to use IMO.

jbojo,

Did you use both the sound and heat insulation of the Lizard skin? I am leaning towards the lizard skin to finish off the 1973 Coupe.

Yeah I used both. It's on pretty thick and that ceramic coating works really well. I can hardly feel the heat on the floorboards now. This video convinced me to go the way I did.

I am sure you are going to like it. Post pics when you have it applied and your thoughts.

I have not used it, but I have worked with glass microspheres when rebuilding a boat. Lizardskin is more expensive. I can't say it is or isn't better.

I really like the idea of the micro-spheres, gives you a lot of options on paint types and colors, including high temperature paints.

Won't you be my guinea pig?

Sorry man! The 60 mil thickness of the Eastwood brand changed my mind. I do appreciate your input though on the spheres. I will post pictures soon.
