Lizard Skin

[76TA]

Hello,

My name is Andrew and I have a question regarding Lizard Skin.

I just got my car back from an under carriage, trunk, interior pans, firewall media blast and I'm about to send it out for paint / primer (interior pans/trunk pans/under carriage). After primer/paint I've been considering applying Lizard Skin.

Once I get the car back from paint the car will be placed in storage while my funds build back up for motor/trans/wiring/exterior body work and finally interior.

My question is: How durable is Lizard Skin? I ask because I'll be reinstalling the entire dashboard, all interior and all wiring myself...from scratch. My concern is that Lizard Skin being (some what soft/malleable) would get 'torn' or 'ripped' from all of the contorting I'll be doing on my knees while installing the interior?

Does anyone have an opinion? Would it be best to hold off and simply lay down Dynamat when the time comes (after all interior work is done)? I just don't want to spend $400+ on Lizard Skin to end up with a product that has been compromised when all is said and done.

I might be over-thinking this.




Thanks,
Andrew

get some cheapo moving blankets from Harbor Freight to put down while you are working on the interior anyway. Your body will thank you :-)

There is a bit of Lizard Skin in my car and it seems fairly durable but I haven't exactly tested it's durability either...

Its very durable once cured. But do your knees a favor and use a blanket.

I sprayed both parts of the lizard skin and it holds up very well.
I also purchased some of the moving blankets and some of the locking rubber square mats at the Harbor Freight.
They are much more forgiving than the hard floor pan on your body.

Another Vote for the moving blankets. Three is my minimum number.
