WwwWell I picked up this stuff

And shoit Its thick..
$45 ish from auto barn.
As I suspected its basically paint on rubber / tar, but I don't mind as iT's going in the rear 1/4's, wheel arches and the few spots I had to weld repair to give those areas the original coating..
Well, shoit it's thick.. Buy throw away brushes.. And some rubber gloves..
You get a lot of coverage from 4L.. I'd say easy a few coats of the whole floor pan (but keep reading), after applying a good coat in the 1/4 (slapping it in) I used roughly 150ml..
This stuff is good for sealing a surface, but in my opinion has nothing On the dynamat..
After 1 good coat there is no difference between coated and uncoated panels, where with 25% coverage of the panel with dynamat it had a huge affect.
So imo and as I suspected its no good for "sound dampening" as it has no weight to it (refer to link in first post), but
Sealing, rust prevention and mess making.. Yes it ticks those boxes.
But in another side note, 4.5m2 of dynamat has covered the car. I didn't do the cargo area Floor as the draws add a huge dampening affect, But I have enough left over to cover the inner skins of the front doors. So if you want to do the cargo area it's perfect.
I went with more a 75-80% coverage with the dynamat. If you stretch it to 25% then the 3.5m2 pack will do..
