These are my impretions after using spray on tar for my civic... I used it about 2 mths ago throughout the bottom of my car, sprayed various cotes, specially under the boot and wheel sells/arches. Cant remember the name of the cans i used but i used roughly x8 500mg cans for this DIY. Bought these cans at Repco roughly $12.95 each (made in the USA). To my amazement IT has WORKED great!!! I was about to buy some packs of dynamat and decided to go with this VERY cheapo option 1st.. I can t be more happy with results and would recommed this DIY to anyone.........Car ride is quiter, body is tighter, sound from my woofer in the boot is better.. Having rust protection is a TOTAL BONUS also as these cans are designed to rust proof your ride at the same time and deaden the body....AWESOME.!!! The only section i sprayed inside the cabin was inside the boot, the section covered by the carpet material on either side of the boot walls and rear wheel arches.
NOTE: When spraying, use even straight flowing strokes, making sure coat is even throughout the desired area..
Step 1. Clean thoughroughly section you wish to spray. (Take your time to do a good job).
I used a soft stile metal brush as i was tackling the underbody of my car. Worked like a charm!!
Step 2. Dry completely. I preffer air dry, so go a for a quick spin around the block, NOTE: make sure you dont drive over dirty surfaces as you will only have to repeat 1st step when you get back:wave:
Step 3. Shake can profusely, NOTE this is XTREMELY important you do well. take your time shaking the can (for ages!!!!!) make sure the product that comes out of the can is of sticky substance not too liquidy.. This step will determine how well the product will stick to your car so make sure you have shook the can enuff.
Step 4. Choose wisely the sections you wish to coat some areas are more imoprtant than others to reduce road noise. DO NOT spray brake lines/parts or any other moving parts around the area you are coating.
Step 5. Wait for 1st coat to dry well.. say 1 hour or so???
Step 6. Re- coat. I did roughly 3-4 coats for areas that needed closer attention.
RESULTS... :
Car ride is quiter, body is tighter, less rattles and road noise, also sound from my woofer in the boot is better.
Before you purchase expensive sound deadening matetrial, try this trick.. I was amazed of results and im sure the next person to do this DIY well, will be impressed also..
