Re: Wampus Cat
Bonding the outer roof back on.
After doing the rust repairs noted above, I prepped the top of the inner roof and bottom of the outer roof using POR-15 and/or primer as appropriate, and then added a coat of semi-gloss black. When painting the roof sections, I avoided painting the approximately half inch wide contact area around the perimeter so that I would have bare metal contact for the bonding adhesive.
I applied Noico 80 mil reflective sound deadener mat using a Noico Metal Barrel Roller (both purchased on Amazon) to the roof panels. I chose the Noico because it seems to be less expensive than some of the other brands, and it has little or no smell. I applied it to most of the inner roof for sound deadening and to hopefully reflect some of the Texas sun's heat, but I only applied a few sections to the outer roof to cut down on the “steel drum” effect.
