I wanted to create a sound deadener and insulating layer for my 65 Mustang, so I created my own insulating paint by mixing microspheres with latex paint (similar to Lizard Skin) I put it on pretty thick, so it took a while to cure completely. I am very satisfied with it except you can scrape it off fairly easily.
I have another project I will be working on early next year, so I am thinking of making some more insulating paint using some acrylic enamel that I bought and didn't like the color. I figured I could mix the microspheres and acrylic hardener with the paint and get something that would cure pretty fast as well as it would get very hard and wouldn't be easy to scrape off. The only downside I can think of is that it would be flammable to some degree, and the latex is not. I considered using Dynamat, but you can't cover everything completely, whereas I can spray the paint into all of the nooks and crannys where the Dynamat can't be used. I am considering using both.
Has anyone ever tried anything like this before?
