Land Rover Defender TD5. Fitting a Britpart Dynamat sound deadening bonnet (Hood) kit (DA8093)

As the truck is noisy at best I thought I might treat my ears to a Britpart sound deadening kit from Paddocks (DA8093) for the bonnet (Hood). In the video I show how I prepared the bonnet ready for the application of the Dynamat panels.
I'll feedback the results after I have driven the truck for a bit. Thanks for watching!
*****UPDATE*****
I've driven the truck a number of times and there is definitely a dumbing down of the usual noise and I can genuinely hear the radio better. Whilst I didn't expect silence I did feel there was an improvement (reduction) in the noise in the cab.

Hi Ungur, thanks for the great comments and for watching 👍🏽

[@ResponseDigitalMedia]

So... what of improvement did you hear?

[@MikeMakesIt]

Hi, there was definitely a dumbing down of the usual sound I experience and I could genuinely hear the radio better. Whilst I didn't expect silence I do think it is a good improvement. Mike

That's sounds like it did nowt.

Great video! Nicely done. My kit has been sitting around for a few months, awaiting a nice relaxed afternoon to take care of it. Do you think it's doable without removing the bonnet (our Landy is a post-2007 Puma)?

[@MikeMakesIt]

Hi and thanks. Yes it’s possible without removing the bonnet but there is nothing to it to take it off and it would be so much easier if our was on a bench. I’m not sure if the bonnets differ on my 2001 to yours though. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

[@joewakeford]

Cheers Mike. Yeah, the Puma bonnet is easy to remove, I replaced the hinges and bolts a while back and took 'er off. Just being lazy. I'll let you know how I get on when the time comes!

[@MikeMakesIt]

Please do, but give yourself the afternoon for the job though and plenty of tea!!

Can you re-spray over the sound kit?

[@MikeMakesIt]

Hi James. I've had a look on both the Dynamat and Silent Coat sites and cannot find any specific about over painting apart from this link to Dynamat that does mention it should be fitted before the paint process. www.dynamat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/2010-Dynamat-Xtreme-Sell-Sheet_Web.pdf At the end of the day you would be painting on an aluminium surface with an exposed "sticky edge". Possibly it may need some pretreatment before a final overcoat? Not sure if that helps you? Let me know how you get on, thanks for the comment and for watching 👍🏽
