It was suggested to me that spray in Bed Liner like used in pickups would work good for sound dampening if applied inside (and outside) the rear tub. Wonder if anyone has tried this and what was the results.

Since spray-in bedliner is used to protect the paint, I'd surmise that it forms a very solid surface directly in contact with the body of your car.
In other words, the perfect thing to CONDUCT sound.

If you're gonna take the back of the interior apart - a lot of the folks here have installed the "Frost King" stuff you can get at the home improvement places. I know there have been a bunch of threads about this - the one that comes to mind is StangKiller18.....
I did a search on insulation installation and got several results....

I did not use the spray on material.
I used Dynamat extreme for sound deadening (panel vibration), and then used B-quiet's Vcomp for a sound barrier layer with excellent results.

Good luck...well worth it.
I also will add a Lloyd's cargo mat to finish the job.
I will post DB reduction values when the Vette gets out of hibernation.

This is a paint on product that according to them is better than all the mats. Use 2gal for the rear and 5gal if you do the whole car. Follow the same instructions as to where to install it as the mats. I have used it and it is GREAT!! Put on at least 2 coats with a brush three would be better.
