I used Lizardskin - both the sound attenuating and heat product, sprayed both inside and outside. I'll keep you posted if you want, but it'll definitely be in my build thread. I ordered some micro balloons today from Wicks Aircraft Supply and will be trying it out next week when they arrive. Of course you still need an applicator, but that's what HF is for Try around $30-$40 for raw materials of ~3 gallons instead of $90 for one gallon. I've seen a few applications of the DIY stuff and it looks like it could be a very viable option. Using micro balloons in a paint will increase the thermal resistance by adding insulating layers, thereby decreasing heat transfer. While you aren't going to be able to replicate the exact properties of Lizard Skin, thermal conduction and sound deadening are not exactly rocket science. In keeping with my DIY build I looked up alternatives and found this link: I looked up Lizard Skin and it is EXPENSIVE.
That's very interesting you bring this up right now because I am going through the same situation. Simply hook up the sprayer to shop air and spray your way to a cooler and quieter ride.Glad you are in the forum! There are a bunch of great guys here to help. Applying both coatings is a snap, without the tedious labor of cutting and pasting that traditional mat products require. Both LizardSkin coatings must be applied to a clean, dry and rust-free surface. Sprayers used for typical paint applications are not engineered to handle the thickness of these technologically advanced coatings. It provides exactly what’s needed for professionals and hobbyists to properly apply the coatings. The SuperPro Application Kit is made exclusively for LizardSkin coatings, able to handle the thick viscosity of the coatings with ease. Shelf Life: One year shelf life from date of manufacture. It is best to keep container out of direct sunlight for sustained periods of time. Product can be reused if sealed correctly. Storage: LizardSkin Sound Control should be kept in a storage area above 60 deg F or above. One 2 gallon container of LizardSkin Sound Control will cover 40-45 sq. The coating can withstand temperatures to 300° F. Since Sound Control not only dampens noise, but also protects surfaces, it will help keep the integrity of your ride intact for years. For maximum acoustic performance in your ride, encapsulate the entire interior and all appropriate exterior surfaces. It is best applied by the SuperPro Application Kit to a clean and dry, rust-free surface. Sound Control is used by custom car, street rod, truck builders and anyone else who wants to reduce unwanted noise and/or enhance the sound of their high end audio systems. It is an advanced, water-based composition of a high-grade acrylic binder with sound-damping particles. LizardSkin Sound Control is a spray-applied automotive sound damping coating that is great for reducing exterior noises and enhancing sound systems. Mask off any areas that you don’t want coated. For aluminum, stainless, fiberglass and wood, the surface needs to be cleaned and scuffed prior to the application of LizardSkin. If existing primer or paint has been on the substrate for more than 5-7 days, the surface needs to be cleaned and scuffed to allow for good mechanical adhesion. LizardSkin can be applied without scuffing to a newly primed metal surface. All other types of substrates do not require a primer. For bare steel surfaces, a primer with at least 15% elongation is required.

LizardSkin coatings must be applied to a clean, dry surface that is free from rust and corrosion. NOTE: When using both products (stacking) ALWAYS apply Sound Control FIRST then apply Ceramic Insulation on top. By rounding 3.72 up to 4, you will need four gallons of Sound Control.Round up to the next gallon to account for any square footage calculation errors.Divide total Sound Control square footage by 22 to calculate gallons needed.Multiply length times width to get your total square footage.Measure length and width of all surfaces to be coated accounting for all curves and irregular shapes.
