Might be time to just sit down for that one. Bonus it keeps the ladies happy

Heh heh, good option but getting the cover off would of been a challenge too.

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?

Sound control goes on first, Ceramic is last.

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.

Just stripping the 70 to por the frame and fit the new suspension under it.

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.

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-02-2009, 12:17 AM

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

Use the stock crossmember....just move it back 2.5 inches.

Lizardskin is looking good. A little more cottage cheese than I expected though.

Wildstreak · 11-01-2009, 08:55 PM

I wasnt sure if it would line up, the crossmember on the burb its in right now is different then how ours looks so I just wasnt sure if I needed a new one, thanks AJ

Looks like a cool project and great work so far!

msgross · 11-02-2009, 09:09 AM

I feel sorry for the guy that has to scrape that off, in 100 years!

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!

**lks dcvn** · 11-02-2009, 09:38 AM

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.

Luba · 11-02-2009, 10:33 AM

Does that stuff come in colors or is it only gray? Looks good VT!

AJs72K5 · 11-02-2009, 09:32 AM

That is a big difference. Looks smoother.

Yeah, it's all good IMO.

**litebulblsc** · 11-02-2009, 11:13 AM

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.

turp mcspray · 11-02-2009, 06:11 PM

Whats the surface like after it dried? Is it hard, or more soft and rubber like?

swyfor5 · 11-02-2009, 07:36 PM

That really looks good dude!

ChevyFan24 · 11-02-2009, 10:57 PM

Looks good.

vtblazer · 11-03-2009, 01:05 PM

Some how seems brighter in the shop now...

Base coat, still wet but ya can get the idea.

vtblazer · 11-03-2009, 01:39 PM

Had to air out the shop...
