just a little rundown if anyone is interested in removing there sound deadening material.
was a pretty tedious project but i chose the hard way. easiest way is with dry ice and chip it off, but i chose to melt it all off with a heat gun and scratch the crap out of the floor.
finished project came up ok. not as good as id like it, but good enough to put my feet on.
here is how it started:
with a scraper and a heat gun and patience this is the resuly. it doesnt look this bad using the dry ice method. dry ice takes it off in big chunks rather then small hot fkn balls of tar which continuely stick and burn your fingers
at this point in time, i regret what i had done cause it looked so bad:
wax & grease removed alot more then i expected, so with lots of rags and a sponge, soak up as much of it as you can. here is the difference:
once all is off, give the floor a light sand and prepare it for primer. i didnt spend too much time on this, but its up to you on how far you want to take it:
the primer stage was pretty straight forward. i applied 2-3 coats cause its going to withstand a fair bit of wear in the future, so make it thick. i used an etch primer because it sticks alot better to metal and raw surfaces:
Paint bit was pretty straight forward. being white, it covered up alot of my fukups. i applied 4 even coats of it. just make sure the surface is completely clean before you paint. and dont paint things that need to be colour coded. eg-wires!
i should have taken the time to paint the rest of it, because i mixed the paint based on the exterior colour, so the parts i havent sprayed inside are more of an off white, but i will be doing this in the future.
i hope this was of some help to people wanting to do this
cheers
