Trunk "wall" coating

[Mrbill426]

I don't know if this is the correct page for this question.  Our car came from the factory with a sort of sound deadening coating thinly applied to the inner sidewalls of the trunk, sprayed about 3/4 of the way up.  Anyone know what a similar product of today would be?  Body is freshly painted (white) inside and out, with new quarter skins.

Thanks

It usually goes on before paint. Rocker Protector from 3M (08734) works pretty good. Takes a few coats to get it thick similar to what the factory used.

Yea It should have been done before paint. I would just leave the "clean" look now

It normally goes on before paint and there is a pattern they used to avoid the marker lights.     Since you do not have it on and already painted it, it would look cleaner and better just to leave it off.  The clean look works nice too.

Does that mean it cannot be applied over paint, even is scuffed?   I can probably go back and touch it up when I do other things.

From the factory, the inside of the quarter panels was sprayed with undercoating before the car was painted. The undercoating was used for several reasons. It adds strength and rigidity to the panel. If something slides in the trunk and hits the quarter, the undercoating helps protect from a dent. I would definately put something back on. It's going to be more difficult now. You'll have to mask everything very good before you spray.

   Hope these helps.

The undercoating was originally sprayed before the quarter panels were mounted on the car.....

For touch ups to the coating prior to painting, I've used seam sealer, a stiff brush, and thinner. Applying the sealer to missing chunks, and dabbing the brush dipped in thinner makes for a pretty convincing texture.
