anyone working on road noise? if so,, I am,, as part of the D-150 project,, when one of my sons was 'maintaining' the truck, he was working with a local car audio shop,, ended up with 1200 watts of radio power and 6 speakers,, to me, the system still sounded like crap.. when taking the 83 D-150 apart, the issue became obvious,, no sound insulation,, so the goal is to fix that. did a lot of internet looking,, I am starting with an 'imitation lizzard skin'. http://www.hytechceramics.com/insulatingadditive.html To me, the ceramic bubble insulation makes sense,, latex paint on metal as typically used does not. I blended ceramic bubbles into slovent based Rustolium paint,, semi gloss black,, took about 1/2 a quart to do the D-150 front valence, inside front fenders, inside doors and inside cab. I'll put a second coat on tomorrow It does seem like the doors and fenders ring less when rapped, but that maybe wishful thinking. here are some photos, http://www.flickr.com/photos/13718356@N ... 051470653/ the ceramic bubbles do give a really nice flat-textured surface.. any way I have done a lot of internet shopping looking at going with: * Dynamat Extreme Bulk Pac, as cover over the imitation lizzard skin * RAAMauido PS Ensolite, as a wrap under the dash and over the doors. http://www.raamaudio.com/ trying to combine best prices and positive reviews,, any other thoughts welcome thanks. |

Hey DadTruck, Don't discount the spray on bed liner places. You are trying to sound insulate and additional benefits would be corrosion protection and panel strengthening. Sounds like a neat project. |
