Paint bare steel first, but if the shell already has sealed primer (like BMH shells) you can stick it straight on that.

Hey Guessworks, buy it at Big 'n Quick and then tell them it's cheaper at Homebase. They give you more back than the difference!

Not that I wish to get pedantic being a newbie and all!...but...

Proper sound deadening such as Dynamat Extreme,is an elastomeric butyl which actually transfers vibration into heat. Items such as flashing tape merely add mass to a panel,reducing its resonance.

Flashint tape if you're on a budget but Dynamat and ex are non comparible.I've used both and in a mini...if you have silly amounts of money,lining the floorpan transforms the car totally.
