plasti dip as a sound dampner/deadener?
i was just wondering if anyone has used plasti dip as a sound dampner/deadener? i got a couple of cans this morning to use on my rims for now and seen on the can that it can be used as a sound deadener and was just wondering if anyone has done it and how well it worked....

I'm planning on trying it on a few things sometime soon and then I'll open a thread on it and how it does over time

Do not MOD the trim!
|
It might work... you'd probably need to have the surface cleaned really well & rough it up a bit to give the dip a little more tooth to grab onto.
Another alternative to think about would be undercoating... only downside is that stuff stinks like someone farted on a skunk for quite some time.

Haha yeah I'm thinking about using it on a few things that I don't mind sanding first so I'll be sure to prep it as best I can. Any idea what sort off application temperature you need?

Nice yeah I was thinking about those and also my other grille which I was gonna paint but I may just do this and see how that goes cause I can always rip it off and then paint it. The others things I reallly wanted to do we're the trim pieces along the bottom of the doors(ish) which are faded out and maybe the valance
