[QUOTE="SirDoopYJ, post: 433597, member: 19139"] Started sanding what I thought was surface rust on my driver side panel, and I now have a few quarter size holes and some cracking going on. I am going to have to patch weld. Luckily that is the worst of it. Most of my tub interior still has the original paint job and clear coat. As much as I do not like the look of liner, I think it may be best to spray it on my tub to protect it from further rusting. I plan on driving it and getting it wet. May even drive it in the rain with no top. Option 1: I am thinking about investing in the Lizard Skin and doing both the insulation and sound control. This plus the gun kit will be about $320. I don't know if I still have to do a liner on top of the Lizard Skin layer. I am not sure how well it will hold up with dirt/mud/water either. Option 2: POL -Raptor liner, or a cheaper alternative (Raptor looked pretty good on a video I watched). I would then use the insulation mats, like noico or dynamat. I doubt this will do no good considering I plan on getting my interior wet, so I may be stuck with Option 1 if I want the insulation and sound deadning. Both options I will be installing a carpet or a bedrug. I hear the bead rug is great against mud and water and doesn't seep it through. Would it be wise to liner underneath the tub/fenders as well? More than likely the only way and best way to do it would be to remove the tub off the frame. I have no problem with doing this and would like to get a better look at my frame with it off. Opinions? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
