The Benefits of Using LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation in Your Restomod Build
May 5, 2025
When it comes to creating the perfect restomod, comfort, performance, and quality are key. LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation (CI) is a revolutionary solution for automotive enthusiasts looking to protect their vehicles from excessive heat while ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable ride. Unlike traditional insulation methods, this spray-on thermal barrier simplifies application and delivers long-lasting results.
One of the standout benefits of LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation is its ability to reduce heat transfer into the vehicle’s interior by 30°F or more. Whether you’re restoring a classic car or building a custom hot rod, keeping the cabin cool is essential for driver and passenger comfort, especially during long drives or in hot climates. LizardSkin achieves this by creating a seamless, heat-resistant membrane that adheres to irregular surfaces, unlike cut-and-paste insulation materials that can leave gaps.
Beyond heat protection, LizardSkin CI offers a lightweight solution, adding only 0.1 lbs/ft² to your vehicle. This makes it ideal for high-performance builds where weight reduction is critical. It’s also durable, able to withstand sustained temperatures up to 350˚F without degradation, making it perfect for engine bays, interiors, and undercarriages.
Another advantage is its user-friendly application. The water-based formula is environmentally friendly and easy to clean with soap and water, saving time and hassle. It adheres to various materials, including metal, fiberglass, and composites, ensuring a smooth, uniform coat across all surfaces.
LizardSkin also acts as a protective moisture barrier, preventing rust and corrosion in your classic car’s sensitive areas. When combined with LizardSkin’s Top Coat, it adds a durable, moisture-resistant finish for maximum longevity.
For builders seeking efficient, modern insulation that delivers both form and function, LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation is a game-changer. Cool, quiet, and comfortable—this product is a must-have for any serious restomod project.
