Started sound proofing my doors

Well, I'm finally getting around to sound proofing the inside of my car doors. This project has been 2+ years in the making. That's what going to college will do to ya. I've just stripped the panel off the inside passenger door. Removed that nasty plastic vapor shield all stuck together with white goop. Then I took some goo gone and scrubbed all the white goop off the door. Took me the better half of an hour and 1/3 bottle of goo gone to remove that nasty white stuff. The door looks great! Had to stop early to go to work, but I'll be on it all day tomorrow.
My plan is to clean the inside of each door really good, then lightly sand the insides to get a good painting surface. Next I'll be coating each door with Cascade Audio VB1 spray. Three or four coats should do it. Then I have 100sq feet of Fatmat (like Dynamat Extreme) on its way. I’ll slap one or two layers of that on the outer portion of the door. This should make a great combination with VB1 spray inside and FatMat Extreme out. My little Polk Audio 6.5" components should just love their new home.
I'm hoping the sound deadener will kill some road noise too. It's pretty annoying, especially while driving on the freeway.

Looking to take some pics of the job later this weekend. Once I do, I'll be sure to post em here!


It’s only just begun…
