Protect rear inner wheel well

[Ian]

71 Mach1 fastback: Is there a splash shield for the rear inner wheel wells or is it just spraying the metal with anti-rust.

Clean and prep the surface, spray it with a quality paint, then coat it with truck bed liner, undercoating, or similar product to protect it from chips and reduce noise. People on here will have their recommendations on what works.

Ok Sheriff, thanks for the truck bed liner idea.

Bedliner is a solid choice I have used that on other cars, and it has worked out well. On this car, I decided to use Boommat in my rear wheel wells. Back when I was doing my 69 Camaro, a friend recommended it to have a more factory sound deadener texture. I think it looked pretty good, and it made a significant difference in the road noise, so I used it again on this car. IMO, it has a good texture, and it will protect the wheel wells.

I used bed liner as well, also used it on the bottom of the car. It has held up very well.

So you lined the wells with boom mat and then sprayed the bed liner on it ?

I primed and painted the wheel well and then sprayed it with the Boommat. I did the same on my other car five years ago and it still looks like it did, so it holds up well.

I just bought some Boommat from Summit for $12.99 a can, the Amazon listing showed $18.60. Of course, there is shipping to factor in also, if you have Amazon Prime it shows free shipping. I don't know if it would cost almost $6.00 per can to ship, though. For me it didn't matter because I was buying some "go-fast" stuff from Summit for another car so that had to be shipped anyways.

Yes you have to watch amazon prices. I just posted the link to show how it was available.

Great results.

I used Raptor Bedliner. It works great and holds up well.

 

[Ian]

So you used it on the entire chassis and the wheels. Are you planning to lay down something like dynomat on the floor board and doors or do you think the Raptor will be enough for heat and noise?

 

[turtle5353]

I used eastwoods version of dynomat on the interior.

Thnx for the info. I'll check it all out.
