Best Paint/Liner for Under Carpet

[ShoeSlinger]

Thoughts on what is best prior to installing full carpet for sound/heat insulation? Looking at Lizard Skin but can get Line X for not much more than if I do both heat & sound Lizard Skin coat. Or just go with a heavier pad on the carpet?

Line-X won't block heat or noise like Lizard Skin or Al's HNR will.
It would be better as a wear protection for them than a substitute.

Having done the Raptor X like product, and its pretty thick, If I had to do it again I'd do just paint, then heat block pad such as dynapad mat, carpet.

Lizard skin is paint with ceramic beads. You can buy the beads much cheaper and mix with paint. I think 2 lbs of beads was $30?? That should do your insides including top. Not a big deal to mix your own. Huge savings and more color options and you get to pick the brand of paint . The vendors selling beads will give you the ratios and all the information you will need. The cost savings will pay you a decent wage for mixing it up. No down side

Thanks everyone. Appreciate all the input.

So I assume you could add the ceramic beads to any bed liner as well correct?
does it have any effect on adhesion or thin out the liner - increase tearing or chipping etc?
Thanks
