The restoration of a classic Pontiac Tempest offers an exciting opportunity to blend vintage charm with modern functionality. One key element in such a restoration project is the implementation of effective thermal insulation. LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation has become a go-to solution for classic car enthusiasts seeking to enhance their vehicle’s comfort and protection. Here, we explore the proper steps to apply LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation in a classic Pontiac Tempest, ensuring your vehicle remains both a timeless classic and a comfortable ride.

Preparing Your Pontiac Tempest

The first step in the application process is preparing the vehicle. Ensure that the Pontiac Tempest’s interior surfaces are clean, dry, and free of rust. Proper surface preparation is critical for effective adhesion of the insulation material. This includes cleaning the interior metal surfaces thoroughly, creating an ideal base for the LizardSkin application.

Applying LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation

LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation is a spray-on product, making its application efficient and thorough. Using the official LizardSkin Spray Gun, apply the insulation evenly across all desired areas, typically focusing on the vehicle’s floor, roof, and side panels. This method provides a uniform layer of insulation, significantly enhancing your classic car’s heat management. The spray-on technique (when compared to mat insulation) is particularly effective for reaching small spaces within the Pontiac Tempest, ensuring complete coverage.

Achieving Optimal Thermal Protection

Once applied, it is essential to allow the insulation to dry completely. This curing process solidifies the barrier, optimizing the thermal protection of your classic Pontiac Tempest. The result is a cooler interior in hot weather and retained warmth during colder conditions, contributing to a more enjoyable driving experience. If you are also going to use LizardSkin’s sound deadening coating, the Sound Control must be applied first.

Where to Purchase LizardSkin for Your Classic Car

LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation can be sourced from various automotive restoration suppliers or directly through the LizardSkin website. Visiting lizardskin.com/buy-lizardskin provides access to purchasing options and additional resources for application.

Applying LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation to your classic Pontiac Tempest is a strategic step in enhancing the classic car’s value and functionality. It not only preserves the vehicle’s vintage essence but also elevates its comfort, making it a perfect blend of classic allure and modern practicality.
