rust prevention ... sound deadening material

[93EXaesthetic]

hmm prolly should have put this under weight reduction...but people overlook that thread under racing


hey i am in the process of getting some dry ice.. and removing the sound deading material .. i have noticed that a small patch of the material is already exposed..and i see that a small amount of rust has formed...

im wondering if i strip my sound deading material will this occur over the entire vehicle
im thinking the solution to fix this..would be to spray paint the floor black ... im not sure if its gonna rust completely through or not. anybody else remove sound deading material? any other suggestions for keeping rust out other than spray paint... thx

Once you remove all the sound deadning material and uncover any more cancer aka rust, try to sand off as much as you can using a Dremmell or low grit sand paper.

Spray paint is good, but it's not great. Try to get your hands on some tar. Yes, tar. Home Depot should sell a bucket of black tar. Smear that shiznit over the rust spots. You should be good to go.

...Tar is kinda heavy, but this is a weird application. You want to acheive weight reduction but fight rust... i can never win




good luck!

sand the rust off and use a rust inhibitor

how much weight will you actually loose once the sound deadning material is gone? is it worth it exposing your car to rust
