Thanks for the props.
My headliner was falling down, so I needed to replace it, but I promised myself whenever I replace anything on the burb I'd make it bigger or better. So, being in AZ I wanted to find a way to make it better by making it cooler. I did a little research and found a company that was locally based, but doing business all over the world called Second Skin Audio. The product that interested me was called spectrum heatwave. It is a ceramic coating that absorbs heat and sound. Perfect. But since it is waterbased I didn't want to put it staight on the sheetmetal, so I used another one of their products called damplifier pro to go straight on the sheetmetal. Then I put the spectrum firewall on top of that, and last I'll put a layer of a familiar product called heatwave on top of that (seen it before at Mesa Sales). Sounds a little overkill I know, but that's what making it bigger and better is all about, right? Plus I never want to take down that PIA headliner again.
Here's the headliner before
Here's trim and headliner removed
Here's the layer of damplifier pro. It's similiar to Dynamat pro, only better. It basically consists of a butyl based mat with a layer of aluminum on top. It is formulated just for use on autos, so it withstands temps of over 450 degrees and makes a permanent bond, unlike asphalt based mats which can fall off after time and smell bad.
Then I masked everything off and used a bedliner gun to spray on the spectrum firewall ceramic coating.
Here's a close up of the finish texture
and the whole roof
Now, I'll let it dry a couple of days (even though it's already dry to the touch) and put up the last layer, Heatwave.
