water based paint on bare steel will still rust it. Even once dry. Hence why bare still must be coated with an OIL based primer before painting with a water based paint. if you are still unclear, go down to your local hardware store, grab a tin of weathershield and on the label it states that if using onto bare steel an oil based primer must be used first to prevent rusting.

if i remember correctly, the gripset label says it seals bare metal. the primary purpose of gripset is weatherproofing/waterproofing. i believe its non corrosive. i'm assuming once its cured its not going to harm my metal as a result.

in any case, the areas that i've deadened thus far have paint on them anyway.

I used flashtac on my doors. I was worried about whether it was melt/slide off, so a couple of weeks before i deadended i stuck a piece on the inside of my bonnet, on BARE metal, and then left it there...

Its still there now.

I used it on my door, on the trip is stuck good, on the painted metal is stuck fine too, when doing the inside of the door i wiped away some of the dirty crap with terps first (if your car is rust proofed however i dont recommend this). Mine is still good, and i got heaps of basssss

kool thanks. Yeah ive started doing the doors and so far seems to be alright. I stuck a piece of it to a bit of metal for a test and used a portable blow torch to test how much heat it would take. It was that hot before it started melting and running down the metal that it was smoking. I couldnt touch the metal for about 20 min after the test it was still that hot so won me. although someone recently pointed out the if you worked it out to m2, the dynamat works out to be about the same price as the flashtac :| ah well. done now lol.

yeah it might prolly cheaper to get dynamat instead, my regular shop quoted $100 per door, not sure if it use extreme or just a regular one, but definately dynamat.

i was looking at using falshtac when i did my front doors, and i found it to be cheaper and easier to use serenity max(so glad i did use it too great stuff).it worked out cheaper and its a lot easier to use then flashtac and i think would do a better job aswell, i also used gspot paint for the harder areas. now all i got to do is get some decent speakers in there.
