Re: Project: Agent Orange
I just now noticed that you have two flavors of Lizard skin....sound control and ceramic insulation. What's the order? CI, then SC? Or can you mix them?

Re: Project: Agent Orange
Thanks, any progress over the weekend?
Thanks, anything new up your way? Quote:
They say the ceramic coating is thinner and lays down better, supposed to fill some of the pockets...so they say. Sprayed the 2nd coat HEAVY, might be thick enough now. Hope so, getting up under that dash just isn't all that much fun at all. |

Re: Project: Agent Orange
The masking would probably be easier if you used plastic sheet instead of newspaper. I'm not saying, just saying, ya know...
Looks like a good result though, the name definitely fits the finish.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
Plastic sheets are not the best for using as a masking barrier. Paint can "sit" on top of it unlike a paper barrier where it absorbs and dries. When you go to pull plastic off you can leave paint chips or even paint that isn't dry onto your new paint job. Trevor

With luck, it'll be one of my great grand kids! Never thought I'd do this to a truck but in this case, it made good sense for the intended use & abuse it's going to see. Build em to drive em baby! |

Re: Project: Agent Orange
Looks good! What is the cure time on that stuff - does it need heat to dry out - since it isn't that warm here (or there) much longer -

First coat seemed to dry enough to spray over in a couple hours, heat was @ 65 degrees in the shop. I used a heat gun a little bit to help it along so I could spray the 2nd coat before ending my day in the shop, only had to hit the nooks & crannies. the flats were dry. I applied the 2nd coat really heavy and there's still a couple places were it hasn't dried yet and I kept the shop @ 60 degrees all night. Going to leave the heat @ 60 with hopes of being able to apply the ceramic layer tonight after work. Haven't decided if I'm going to apply color to this section while it's masked off or whether I'll continue onto the bed area with the liner, at least spray color on the firewall & under the dash to avoid over-spray later I'm thinking.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
The thing that turned me off about the lizards skin is the fact that it is sandable. That just makes it sound like it wont last as long as bed liner.

Re: Project: Agent Orange
Whats the surface like after it dried? Is it hard, or more soft and rubber like?
