Then it was time to lay some Silent Coat Multi down...its 5mm thick and VERY stiff! This layer is put down to help strengthen the panels so reduce flex

This was laid out on most big panels on the car, floor pan, bulk head, doors, boot floor, boot lid etc

This is designed to help the panels gain some strength and reduce the amount they vibrate for things like road noise (general driving), as well as from subwoofers that will resonate through the chassis.

The design goal here was to reduce the cabin noise as much as we possibly could...consider this stage 0.5 of a 3 stage process...the reason I say 0.5, you will understand later
