This seems like a perfect time to post this what with the special offer starting, so i wanted to use it on the engine cover of the phantom.
First of all the surface was throughly cleaned using some panel wipe:

Heres what the tub of gunk looks like:

First layer brushed on, i did put it on fairly thick as well

I wasnt worried about it being flat because its going to have a mat over the top of this anyway.

As it starts to dry it changes colour as well

All done

Once it had dried i used a scraper to clean the edges up and make it look much tidier :)

yes :)

And it compares quite well, the panel is definately heavier, and has more of a thud when its hit now, next ill give it a layer of a mat of some sort and then it'll be done..

although, damplifier pro does say "adheres to spectrum" so you will probably be ok
