How much of it did you use? Will the two buckets be enough for me or should I have added more? Also how did you prepare the surface before you sprayed?

Thanks,
Sean

Sean, interesting stuff. I just went to their web site and read about lizard skin. Here is a quick guide they use for how much you will need.
Older style Pickup
1940-1960 2 gal. - 1 unit

3-5 Window Cpe 2 gal. - 1 unit
2-door Sedans

1933-1939 4 gal. - 2 units
Chevy/Ford

1955-1957 4 gal. - 2 units

Applying LizardSkin® Ceramic Insulation & LizardSkin® SC
For maximum sound control and insulation performance, both LizardSkin coatings may be used, but it is important that LizardSkin® SC always be applied FIRST. When used in tandem, LizardSkin® SC should be applied at least 12 hours prior to application of LizardSkin® Ceramic Insulation.

You got me thinking about sound and heat and I came across this product as well. It seems a bit cheaper, http://www.secondskinaudio.com/therm...n/firewall.php
Their applicator is by far cheaper, but by time you do there three layer application, Lizard skin would be easier and cheaper. I wonder if you could buy their sprayer for lizard skin?

I read through this extensive thread about alternatives but I'd rather spend a little extra and do it once than have to clean up my mess and do it again .

Someone else might be a little more experimental.

I hear yah Sean, the more I read there, the more of a pain it seemed. I figured the cheap sprayer they sell would probably work for the lizard skin.

Mine should be here in the next day or two I'll let ya know what it looks like and if there is anything special about it, I can't imagine why that other one wouldn't work. I wish I had seen it before.

Thanks for the link to the discussion group on home made lizard skin. I read all 12 pages and orders a gallon of the ceramic discs to try on my truck. Can't hurt!
