I pulled out my interior because its a beautiful weekend here finally. I went to home depot looking for something simular to dyna mat and didnt find anything. I just want something less expensive that will quiet down the interior noise. Thanks

Peel & Seal at Lowes, it's in the roofing section.

...Don't you just love this time of year in Texas?

^ Try the classifieds section. I see them in there about every month.

I've heard Peel N Seal will melt on hot days. Something to consider....

weswisehart · 10-19-2009, 10:19 AM

I must have seen something different. A gallon? Is it like paint or tar. Sorry havent see one of those ever. Really Melt hmm. Even tho its for roofing the hottest part of a house?

Ok i found what your talking about http://quietcoat.stores.yahoo.net/. I may do this. And the peel and seal.http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...625&lpage=none

I did my entire floor pan with the peel-n-seal, and it's working well. It took me about 4 rolls, and I still need to do the hatch area. I also taped all of the seams with buytl tape, to make it as waterproof as possible. I got it at lowes, it's over in the roofing section, where the shingles and stuff are.

weswisehart · 10-20-2009, 11:49 AM

Thank you all. I went with the peel and seal. I did the entire floor with two rolls. I will do the hatch later. Thanks again

gilgalad1138 · 10-20-2009, 02:27 PM

What kind of difference did you notice, and how much were the rolls of peel and seal?

Primetime91 · 10-20-2009, 02:35 PM

I'm also curious how much difference it made.

--Does it smell at all? I'm afraid of it smelling like tar or something when it gets heated up

weswisehart · 10-20-2009, 03:08 PM

The rolls were in the roofing section as stated and were almost 14.00 dollars a piece. So i did the front for 30 bucks. Im not sure yet on the difference I have the carpet back in but ive pulled my dash so maybe tomorrow ill check out the noise.

weswisehart · 10-20-2009, 04:21 PM

These are just pics of the progress. I primered anything that had weld on it or i thought could easly rust.

Ward · 10-20-2009, 05:11 PM

I haven't noticed any smell, even after the car has been sitting in 100 degree texas heat. I don't really have a fair comparison for sound levels though, because I went from driving around with bare floor pans, to peel-n-seal and carpet -- I did the peel-n-seal right before I installed the new carpet. However, it's nice and quiet now, although there is still some road noise from the hatch area, I need to put peel-n-seal down back there as well.

I did mine pretty much exactly the same way as the pictures above, but I also did underneath and behind the rear seats, and covered as much of the trans tunnel as possible. I also taped all seams and edges with butyl tape, in an effort to keep water from getting underneath.

One thing I remember reading is that you can really only get away with using the peel-n-seal on floors, as it doesn't stick so well to roofs and doors.

FYRCHKN · 10-20-2009, 11:08 PM

I still need to do this one of these days.

ellocojorge · 10-21-2009, 03:19 AM

im guessing what you got from the roofing section was alumguard?

weswisehart · 10-23-2009, 06:13 PM

Well I drove for a 2 hour trip yesterday and noticed a differance but not as great as i thought it would be. But I havent done the hatch area and my dash is pulled so we will see sometime next week. I dont smell anything but its not hot here so idk.

Primetime91 · 10-23-2009, 06:18 PM

I'll probably do this sometime

gilgalad1138 · 10-25-2009, 04:12 AM

How thick is the stuff? Would it be possible to do two layers?

Yes you could I'm sure. Infact I was thinking about that. But I'm to lazy. Maybe down the road.

You can put on as many as you would like. It can be brushed on rolled on and sprayed on. I put it on the inside of the hood on our in boat to lower the nosie, and will be putting in on the inside of my 1990 GTA. take a look and www.quitecar.com
