anyone ever use this stuff?

I am looking to coat the inside of my Fairlady with it. I am going to clean all the bare metal, apply a rust inhibitor and then a coat of rubberized spray over that.

I was thinking of the E-Dead liquid as the next step and then foam padding before the carpeting.


Give me some feedback.



I am looking for decreasing road noise and a future high end stereo system (after the restoration is finished)

 

Lots of people have used it with good success.. if you head over to icixsound.com forums there are a ton of people experienced with it.

 

I painted 2 layers with 1 layer of dynamat on top..and now my APS 3in bearable....

 

Any type of liquid deadener is messy as hell and you also have to wait until it dries which is also a pain in the ***. If you want to decrease road noise you would want to do a multistep approach to get the best results.

I would first use a sound deadener like Raammat.
http://www.raamaudio.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi or any other one you decide like Elemental designs or Brown Bread or Dynomat.

Then on top of that you would use a thin, lightweight closed cell foam like Raamaudio's Ensolite or E-dead V4 Teklite http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_...products_id=55 or Neoprene http://www.foambymail.com/neoprene.html This will filter out airborne sound waves.

Next on top of that if you really want your car to ride like a lexus I would put an open cell foam/luxury liner like Jute http://www.yourautotrim.com/jutecarpetpad.html Adding this though will probably add the most weight but give you the best results.

 

i have read up on this and have been dying to do it

apparently the best stuff out there is second skin...

Good stuff but it's very expensive stuff compared to other products.

 

great info so far, keep it coming. I'm not really worried about the price as this is a restoration and I am going to do everything right the first time.

Yes, I would like it to be like a Lexus on the inside LOL

 

3 layers of that second skin ... it will be a bentley!

This is a great post. I can tell you that jute works awesome as well. I haven't found a site to buy it from so thanks for that link Diesel.

 

Ok here is the Sound Deadening Showdown for you peeps trying to decide what brands to go with.

http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/

The highest quality was from Second Skin Audio and the best overall value was the Raammat.

Also I have been researching this topic for a while since I will be doing my entire car soon but from my research the easiest closed cell foam to work with is the E-dead V4 Teklite. It has a peel and stick adhesive that sticks to OEM sound deadening, factory panels and metals, This way you don't have to use extra messy adhesives in order to get the closed cell foam to stick to the deadener.

 

the showdown is quite a few years old isnt it?

but i agree, for noise bloackage a foam like the V4 works best.

 

Yea but it is still a good read for the newbs.

 

You'd have to do the wheel wells too if you want to decrease road noise.

 

that will be part of the external restoration.

 

I used a liquid dampener called QuietCar. It can be sprayed, brushed or rolled on. I used a brush and put 3 coats on the interior and 5 coats in the wheel wells and firewall. I could not be happier. $275 for 5 gals and I still have about 1.5-2.0 gals leftover. The highs and bass are noticeably better and the road noise is almost unnoticeable with 275 nitto's.

 

Edead works great for so many things even clothing!

 

Are those the new E-Dead jeans?

 

No one will be able to hear you sneak up on them.

 

Head over to DIYmobileaudio.com. Lots of good info there. Maybe even someone who has done the same car.
