Lets talk Lizard Skin, ceramic insulation- Cheap alternative???

I wasn't planning on spraying the underside but I suppose I could look into that. 

Good to know that the Plasti-dip gun likely wont work for spraying this stuff.    I may have to look in to alternative ways to apply it.  I don't want to buy a bigger air compressor for this  (I mean, I want a bigger air compressor but don't want to spend the $$)

DEI also makes some formable heat barrier that's good up to 1750 deg F.  That might be a good alternative.  I need to get some myself since the passenger side seat bolts get so hot you can't touch them!

Anybody ever try to reuse the factor exhaust heat shields?  I kept my but just figured they would never fit again.

anyone know how much lizard skin is needed to do the inside of the FD?   Is 1 gallon enough or should I go with the 2 gallon kit?    Also I was looking at using both products the sound insulation and the ceramic heat insulation.  That appears to be the way to do it.   

Also I read more on the spray system.  It only needs 4-5cfm at 50psi.   My compressor does 4.5cfm at 90psi.  So according to math that is roughly 8cfm at 50psi.   So that should work.


I am really not interested in cutting corners on this build so for $375 I can get 2 gallons of ceramic heat, 2 gallons for sound, and the sprayer kit from amazon.  Plus ill get 5% cash back with my Prime card.   Seems like the way to go about this?

2 of each should cover it.
