Question about reflectix install

I'm just finishing up the reflectix install in my '69 coupe and I have a little left over.

I was just wondering, did those who have installed reflectix put any up on the underside of the rear deck? To insulate from the sun?

If you did, did you cover it with anything so the silver color wouldn't show? Paint it or cover it with fabric?

Or is it not worth the PITA?

Thanks.

QUIETER? With Reflectix?

On my car it completely eliminated my HEAT problem but had NO EFFECT at all, on the noise.

That's why i put down dynamat and reflectix on top... quite a difference... only problem is fitting the console back over the extra thick layers
