Re: Split Scream !

Post by splitfan »

I could not have seen them @ autostyle (ive never been there) but anyhow doesnt matter now do you know if autostyle still has some i would like to get a spare set or two, John i used vibraseal i mannaged to get 3 rolls from a friend that just build a Cobra wanted to do the roof as well but decided against it just because of the weight of this stuff !!!thinking of rather using the high density foam that they use for soundproofing i wanna see if i can get the bus cooler a bit worried about the black roof :?
My biggest fear is that my wife sells my cars for what i told her they cost !!

If you add something reflective to the inside of the roof, won't it increase the temperature on the outside of the roof? Can this compromise the life expectancy of your paint job? :?

John, i dont know if a reflective material on the inside would make any difference... i dunno man this is uncharted waters for me i think you would rather want to insulate the roof to keep it cool my concern is the weight of the soundproofing and im scared that if the roof heats up it may come loose and hang between the roof and the lining witch would suck big time !
Anyone have any experience with dem kinds of tings nows the time to give some advice please.

That is an awesome ride mate. Super. Aaaaw. Hows about you gimmie some of your vibraseal. I want to deaden my doors and quarter panels. Yeah you right, don't use it on the roof. It is heavy, and sometimes has the propensity to come loose under heat. Rather get that foam you talking about. Preferably white. It will insulate the inside and also kill the sound of rain and wind. You will have to put it on in squares using a good quality genkem like glue. Do not shirk on that.. The foam is excellent without adding weight. It also makes a good cushion for when you do a hoodlining. If you're creative enough you can emboss SPLIT SCREAM into the hoodlining. Im no pro. But I have used foam insteada dynamat.(cant afford to cover all areas with it). My R5 worth. I do expect R4,98 change thank you. Haha
