Sound Deadner
Hi Guys,
I am planning on stripping the interior of my car and fixing some of the rust spots on the floor etc. Anyways, after I get that all done I want to "spray" or apply some sort of sound deadner over top of the metal and floor. Am I making this up or can you buy some sort of product where I could it evenly along the floor?
Does any body have any sugguestions for a sound dampener / deadner for the floor AND Hatch area. All along the floor of the spare tire and hatch area floor in general.
Thanks in advance.

The only thing I would want to say at this point is rust sucks. As long as you have no rust inside, and the bare metal is primed and preferably painted then the liquid stuff is good for you. If you haven't sealed the metal and you pour on a water based product (they are latex or epoxy based usually due to VOC regulations) you will have another rust issue sooner than you would want.
The liquid stuff works well on horizontal surfaces but not so well on vertical surfaces as it tends to 'slump'.
I have used the 3M spray damper and dont think it is a very good solution for sheet metal and the nozzle clogs during use and makes a holy heck of a mess (liquid damping materials tend to be messy and are best applied with a commercial spray assembly).
A good polyurea (truck bed liner) would work inside or outside, some of the professional rust treatments effectively damp vibrations and VW in the 80's used wax for panel vibrations.

I just did my doors and back panels with dynamat extreme. I am eventually going to do the whole hatch and roof with b-quiet ultimate. My buddy did his entire Z06 in this, and says its the best. Look here: b-quiet.com
