Well, I got smashed at a pool party and didn't pass out until 4am. Woke up at 9am and couldn't go back to sleep when I got to my house, so I started to do some work. First I started with my truck and painted my passenger door panel finally. While it was out I decided I'd put some sound deadening on it since I bought more to finish the truck. I covered up majority of the outer layer of the door and then inner layer.

Then I bought 4 cans of Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric and did this to my passenger seat to test it out.

I did my driver seat while it was still in the truck to test it out. At first the spray stiffens the fabric, but it'll loosen up once you start sitting on it daily. I forgot to take a photo of the passenger door, I will once I get time.

Yeah I figured I'd try this out and see how it holds up before I wasted money on seat covers.

Thanks, I feel like I'm done with the interior now (besides the grey steering wheel).

Drove the truck and noticed that the droning sound that I had isn't there anymore and I don't have to turn the radio up to much to hear over the exhaust. I like it.

I didn't use dynamat, I bought RAAMmat and I'd say around $400 for everything.

So, I thought my driver side speaker was blown or not working. I took the door apart, learned it still worked and the reason I thought it was blown or not working was because I could hear the passenger speaker was louder. Then I remembered, I sound deaden that door.

Now I know what I'm going to do during my 3 days off.
