just finished cleaning up the floorboars.

what do you think, rino liner them for sound deadening and insulation?

anbody done this.

Never done it to a Camaro, but i have rhinoed a Jeep. Does nothing for sound deadening and doesnt really do much for keeping the heat from the exhaust down either. In a jeep, even without headers the floor is too hot to touch during the summer. Just my .02$

If you really interested in sound deadening / material I suggest you pickup a car audio catalog. These type of companies sell a couple different types of things to keep the sound from getting out (or in this case getting in).

no i rhino lined a floorboard and the stuff holds in moisture.
itll rot out the floor before you know it.

what would you guys suggest then to put down on the floor. Dynomat? i know that will keep the sound out, but what about insulating....

I used a product called Fusor 805 made by Lord automotive products, it's a textured wheelhouse coating / sound deadener. It's a bit pricey as you have to buy a special applicator gun, but probably cheaper than the rhino lining. I was considering the rhino lining myself but was afraid of doing something permenant like that to the floors, I don't know how you'd ever get it off if you wanted to. This stuff seemed better suited to the application, although there is a fair bit of prep work involved before you can spray it - it needs a primed and scuffed surface to adhere to. Lord makes some pretty cool products used by the large auto manufacturers and in aerospace applications. If you browse through their site there's a lot of neat stuff. The fusor 805 is on the bottom of this page: http://www.lord.com/tabid/3402/Default.aspx

I bought the applicator gun (#312) from this place: http://www.crestnetsales.com/sealers.htm

Here's a pic of the undercarriage of my camaro with it:

also do a search for "deadening" and there is a ton if info that will come up.

I've never heard of this being a problem with truck beds, why would it be different with the floorboard?

I hope you're wrong, because I rhino lined my floorboards and trunk last winter. I did it more to keep the moisture off the floor than for sound deading, although I think it helped some with sound too.

How does this product hold the moisture in?

I've got the Rhino lining in my truck. Let's see the floor on my 02 F250 is still intact after 125K miles. My truck has seen more snow and road salt than many other trucks as I snow plow, and am out on the roads right after the salt is applied to the raods

I have to agree, I don't see how this stuff holds moisture in. I'm about a year away from it, but i plan on doing the same thing. I'm not looking for any sound deadening, I just want the protection. I view this is a very expensive but well worth it undercoating. I'm planning on doing the entire underneath. I'm not sure about the inside yet. I don't see a need other then to totally encapsulate the metal.

I saw a new one the other day...my wife and I went to a strip mall near my home and saw an old model Bronco that had a bikini top on it and the whole thing,inside and out was done in Black Rhino Lining...semi-gloss.Looked pretty cool too,I asked a few people in the shops if they knew whose it was but no luck. I wanted to ask how it was working for him...he better hope its not holding moisture,huh.

I sprayed my trunk, inside, and floor pans, inside and out, and I can assure you, its permanent. As far as holding in moisture, there shouldnt be any moisture to hold in unless it was wet when you sprayed it.

I've heard good things about lizardskin, but I haven't tried it. It sprays on thinner so it won't be as heavy as rhino liner. The ceramic stuff with hold up to the engine/exhaust/tranmissin heat. A little pricy though. Maybe someone will chime in who's used it.

water will migrate into the seams eventually and will work its way under the coating as rust sets in.
I did my truck bed 4 years ago by a professional shop. and also coated parts of my camaros floor and it all rusted underneath including my new truck bed.
once a crack or hole starts its all over
