==Expense== Though spray-on ceramic insulation products appear to have a solid reputation, they are deemed by many to be prohibitively expensive. Applied at the standard thickness of 0.040" (40 mils), LizardSkin.com reports that a 2-gallon container of LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation [http://www.lizardskin.com/pages/ceramic.php will cover approximately 46-50 square feet]. This comes out to about $3.94 per square foot. However, they recommend a maximum thickness of 60 mils (0.060") or $5.91 per square foot, and they also say that for "maximum sound control and insulation performance both LizardSkin coatings may be used". Using the Ceramic Insulation at 60 mils (0.060"), and the Sound Control formula at 40 mils (0.040"), this comes out to 100 mils (0.100") thickness and $9.85 per square foot. CoolCar Ceramic will reportedly cover [http://www.coolcarceramic.com/How%20to%20Apply.htm 40 square feet per 2-gallon container], when applied at 40 mils. This comes out to $3.75 per square foot, or about $5.63 if the maximum recommended thickness of 60 mils is used. However, the above estimates do not include labor costs.
