Dynamat alternative
So I was in construction for about 10 years, and I used to be into car audio also but I always found that dynamat was way to expensive for me to line my car with. Then I found this seal and peal aluminum roll roofing at a ABC Supply, but have found it at other stores. The only difference that I've noticed was the aluminum was a little thinner but otherwise its about the same stuff. I was just wondering if any of you guys ever used it. It's about $150 for 100 sqft. Shop Peel & Seal 36" x 33-1/2' Aluminum Roll Roofing at Lowes.com

well thats cool that im not the only one thinking of this. I think when I pick up my 76 Im going to pull the interior and panels and line it all. I may upgrade the speakers and possibly put in a 10in orion. Depending on how the rug looks I may replace that also. I mind as well line my car and van lol.

I used the thick non faced Home Depot version of peel and seal then I went to lowes and got the generic peel and seal thats extra wide and used that as the top layer. The total thickness is over 1/8'' thick. I am very happy with it and if done right it looks like a clean job! Its even in my 2011 F150!

I was looking at the price difference. 12 sq ft cost 150 bucks compared to the roofing peal and seal 108 sq ft 150 bucks. Amazing.

I got Fatmat direct from their site, told them i saw it on ebay they sold me 100sq ft with knife and wood roller for $129. shipped. Install is simple and it works well. 100sq. is enough to do a standard cab with plenty left.
I did complete floor, kick panels, behind seat up to window (carpeted) under headliner and doors twice(one layer on door skin and one under door panel)
Save yourself a headache and when doing roof and door skins cut into 5" strips! It sticks really well to itself.

I used edead. Its about the same price a fatmat. Dynamat is a ripoff you pretty much are paying for the name. Most guys I see use fatmat. I wouldnt use any of that stuff from lowes or home depot. If its for roofing I would think it would contain tar, probably why it releases a odor. Fatmat is a rubberized compound with an adhesive backing. Buying cheap alternatives from hardware stores sometimes isnt the best thing to do, not that it wouldnt work.
