I used some "Brand x" version of rhino liner on my wheel wells. I think it's called Duraliner. We also used it on a friends trunk pan. It dried to a glossier finish when compared to undercoating. Not bad though. I got it at one of the chain auto parts stores, like Auto Zone or Pep Boys. 1 gallon can comes with a small, coarse roller for application. I found it easier to use a stiff paint brush in the wheel wells. Was something like $80 for a gallon but I still have half a can left. I'm not sure it will do as good a job of sound deadening as some of the material that comes in a roll. I once bought a coupe rolls of that really dense, tar/rubber-like material from CARS Buick supply of Neshanic, NJ. You glue it to the sheet metal on interior parts of the car. It does a great job of absorbing vibration from the metal AND acting as a sound barrier against road noise. Its very desne and heavy, although its only about 1/8 - 3/16" thick. Here is a direct link to the product at their online store: http://www.oldbuickparts.com/cgi-bin/checkitout/checkitout.cgi?somersetSTORE:CKIE:prodSD300-1+ If that link doesn't work, just go to www.oldbuickparts.com, and click your way to their online store, then SEARCH for "sound" Other places probably have it. Also, I always use an extra layer of jute carpet padding under the carpeting, under the back seat, and between the back seat and the trunk, and under thre trunk mat (if possible) for added sound absorption. Nowadays that stuff is getting harder to find, so you use that thick gray felt-like padding instead (which is not as messy, because jute sheds all over the place). Regards, Lou Scott H wrote: Having spent A LOT of hours scraping off factory sound deadner and undercoating form my 1956 Dodge I am very hesitant to re-apply anything but paint on the metal. BUT man does this old iron sound like the inside of an oil drum. The bottom of the body is painted with POR-15 and I dont want to do anything else on the outside. For the interior floors I am going to use a sound absorbing/heat reflecting mat under the carpet. Inside the doors I think the best thing is to use a stick on sound deadning pad like Dynomat What I need to decide on is the inside of the LOOOOONG quarter panels, inside the trunk and the inside/bottom of the front fenders (these things really echo). I was thinking that a spray on material like rino-lining bedliner might work well. For the fenders it will work to absorb sound and as serve as an undercoating since the fenders do not have full wheel ewells this will protect the inside of the fender from stones tossed up by the tires. Iin thetrunk it will have the added benefit of stopping things from sliding around so much but I plan on putting a carpet in the trunk also. Has anyone done this or used something similar. I think I heard that 3M makes something but do not recall what it is called. ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1
