Curious to this as well. Not really interested in buying all that mat to deaden the car, but I'd definitely tear it apart to paint it.

Depends on what brand you buy, I've seen some that dries gray, some light blue... I'll look around a bit. People sometimes will paint it to the underside of their wheel wells to help with that noise/vibration.

if you have access to an air compressor and paint gun it's really easy to apply. You have to apply thin coats and allow it to fully dry between coats however... so it can take awhile.

here's some I found, I make no claims on how well they work... EXCEPT the Second Skin Spectrum. That is the only stuff i have experience with, and it seemed to be a quality product. There are other brands out there too.

Wow, totally forgot about this forum.. got caught up with school.. just graduated last month.

-----

As to the questions.

no i haven't finished the project.. Long story short.

i finished creating the door pods, mounted up some tweets too
upgraded the big 3 (for those who know), liquid deadened with solarflex (roof guard from home depot),
doors/trunk deadened with butyl based deadener (damplifier).

I finished the pods last summer, (7-2009)
It's my first car & first mod ever (even before learning how to change the oil), and it took a VERY long time. I'm talking hours of sanding and re applying body filler just to correct a segment of the pod.

The reason i haven't finished the project is because within about 2 months of installing the pods.. they cracked due to the stress of mounting, Door panels have slight bends in them when they are attached, a slight bend i didn't account for when i was molding them up.

The cracks are giant or anything, but there are definitely noticeable streaks and fissures. After that, I pretty much threw in the towel... and said goodbye to audio in the yaris. For me to repair them, i'm guessing it would take another solid 10 hours of work.

I'll provide more information/pictures if anyone is interested. I guess i'm just needing a little bump of inspiration before i start back on again.. I have a JL 13w6v2 in the trunk right now paired with a JL 500/1. the RE's are being pushed by a JL 300/2.
and a DIYMA r12 and custon Si mag v2 12" sittin in the basement :[.

Here's what they look like anyway
