It surely does provide sound barrier, and longevity, that undercarriage will last longer than me, lol
As far as the Desert Beige, there's not a snowball's chance in hell, I'll never go back to that color, lol just my feelings...... I have a House of Kolors
Custom color I am using Pagan Gold over Black, with a Copper Activator its a stunning color with lots of highlights and a pearl White top, with Pagan gold and a small hint of the Copper, it will be a one of a kind color, just like the rest of the build, new school meets old skool. I love it as much as I love my Wife and my Dog, lol....... I really love my Dog alot.
