I have not used it BUT I have purchased microspheres/microballons to make my own version of Lizard Skin. There are a ton of threads on the net about it but here is one.

Yes- I did my car w/ Lizardskin-
Gutted the interior -cleaned it w/ Goof-off professional cleaner. I then spayed 2 gal to the correct thickness.
I used their spraygun and had no issues.
I also took another step to combat the heat- I used Zero Clearance on the exterior- to reflect the heat away as a first line of defense.
Between the Lizardskin and Zero Clearance -I think I have about $400 in heat reduction- but think it was well spent.

It does create a texture that will have to be painted over on the exterior. My thought are the interior is my concern and if it's totally coated, I should get the wanted results with an easier application.
I'm still on the fence so curious to hear your decision.
Ceramic is only for the heat. The sound control formula would have likely made a difference.
