Wasn't sure where to put this, since it deals with interior, but it's applicable to the body since it goes on the body... Anyway, as the topic states, it's about coatings.... In this case I'm refering to insulation coatings, like line x, rhino, ect ect ect. Pretty soon, I'm gonna have everything ready to be coated on the inside of the car, and am gonna want to coat it to help protect it from any fruther damage. But my question to you all is, what product should I use? The product that I've been looking at is this: www.lizardskin.com/ I'm thinking the Lizard Skin Ceramic Insulation is the product that I will be needing to use for this application, only thing is, if I can spray it (body wise), I want to spray it.... Therefor, not only will the floor be sprayed, but the inside of the roof, inside of the firewall, trunk floor, inside of rear 1/4 panels, the doors, ect ect ect..... Should be nice... But it's an idea, and would like some input from you all..... This will be the first time doing something like this, so any heads up, if anyone here has done this, would be nice too...

Several guys in the Detroit area here have Rhino-liner on the underside of their cruisers, one guy painted the outside of his street rod with it as well. They seem to be holding up quite well from what I've heard.

I know of no particular problems with doing it. The two I have theorized might happen, that have kept me away from doing it are:
1) We know how rust is....it never sleeps according to Neil Young, and I tend to believe him. I would be concerned that if rust got started under the coating, that you would never know it until substantial damage was done. Have I ever seen this happen? No, but I have made a big study of used truck beds either. Probably not an issue for the sheltered life most restored cars will live.
2) What if you did ever need to get back to the metal underneath? To repair some damage, some rust, to modify something, add subframe connectors, change seat anchors, whatever. How much of a PITA would it be to get this stuff back off. As a technician by training, I tend to think in terms of future repairs. I think of all those tire shops that have to deal with fixing tires that have had "fix-a-flat" sprayed into them...what a mess.
I don't know...there's just something about applying a coating so thick and permanent that nothing short of an acid bath would take it all off that makes me uncomfortable with the idea.

If your worried about future rust inside I would use por15...if you want it as a sound deadener then use the silver rolled sound deadening material....I have sprayed my 68 and 57 chevy trucks with truck bed lining inside the floors and underneath and have had no problems, and is does act as a sound deadener ...but with Dave...future mods might be tough!

Maybe I should have added a little more info too... LOL. I will be putting sub frame connectors on anyway, so in terms of future mod's.... I can't think of any right off hand.... When I put this car together, I want to go ahead and do the things that can be done to it, as far as common things, now, than later down the road, and there end up being a problem... At the same time, you can't for see problems down the road, though I tend to think we all wished that we could.... But anyway....

With Rhino-liner being a plastic, should melt off with a torch if you really needed to get it off?
