Started doing the sound deadening project

[cmayna]

I finally got off my duff and starting installing Second Skin's Damplfier Pro on the interior panels. Unlike the typical silver finish you see, Second Skin switched over to flat black, which I like a lot, though when done, we wont see it if the car get properly carpeted. Decided to start from the back and move foward. Have not decided how much of the trunk I'll do. I have already brushed on Second Skin's Spectrum sound and noise coating on the wheel side of the rear wheel well so I will not apply the Damplifier on the cabin side of the wheel well. I have used the Spectrum in other hard to reach area such as inside of rear quarter as shown below.

Nice work Craig. Do you have to scuff the area before applying the spectrum?

Per the instructions, it would probably help the bonding but not required. More importantly is a clean surface. As I did in the rear wheel wells, I rolled it on with a small sponge roller and then smoothed it out with a brush. I also did this to the inside of the door's exterior skin.

Here's a link to their site. They have a forum as well.

Isn't there some utility to the silver finish ones? Ie, the shiny surface helps to reflect heat? Although, admittedly, I wondered how much it could actually reflect since it is on the top of the sound deadener.

You just said it. Since it's silver on top, how can it reflect anything?
