This product was brought up in Dashboard's post.

Has anyone used it and if so what did you think of it? I would like to use it on the roof of my cars before the headliners go in.

Thanks

Tim, I mentioned it because of the problems I've read about the mats coming loose from sun heat and falling on the headliner. I haven't used it but would like to try it when I am ready to replace one of my headliners. The original fiberglass holds moisture and can cause rust. This seems like a good alternative with better coverage and, maybe, results.

I used it, but honestly can't say how much it helped with noise, since I changed everything under the car at the same time (all suspension, engine, exhaust, etc all were changed) so its effectiveness can't really be compared to what it was like before.

I used it as an "undercoat" but it's not ideal for this use... too soft, so it marks up easy, and its dull finish is hard to wipe clean.

I dont think Lizard Skin is a rust preventative so you would also have to apply a layer of rust preventative paint first before putting the skin on.

Their website claims it will PREVENT future rust but not that it will stop any existing. In fact, it states NOT to use it as a rust encapsulator. I plan to use my Eastwood Converter, as I do on ALL bare surfaces before any paint or undercoating.

Here is an additive to make your own Lizard Skin type coating.

 I agree. I have coated most of it and will being doing the rest with POR15 first. I do know of a car that had Fatmat on the roof that came off in the sun. Not cool. Luckly it wasn't a car I did.

Derek has any of it came off? That would be my other concern.

Thanks everyone for the input

 Wow I would have to be a chemist to understand all that. I'm not smart enough for it.

Tim these are a hollow bead that act as a insulation of sorts. These stay suspended in the carrier making it kind of a thin spray on bubble wrap if you follow me. They are used in some polyester resins fiberglass applications to lighten the end product slightly with minimal loss of strength being so small.

 Ok I'm picking up what you are laying down.  I was also looking at foam sound proofing like in a sound studio.
