Is FatMat any good?

Well I have a roll of rammat on the way which is 60 sq feet how far do you think that will get me? I am doing the trunk first and I really want to do the two front doors as well. Think 60 sq feet will be enough?

What vehicle?

Should be enough for a layer in the trunk and the doors.

How far it goes is how far you make it go. It's enough to make a significant improvement - especially if you use it wisely.

Do you have any suggestions on how to use it "wisely"

Don't go for full coverage. You can safely ignore the outer 1/3 of any panel and stay away from bends in the sheet metal and areas near welds, bold downs, etc. - anyplace where the sheet metal is reinforced by a different mechanism. Start with the biggest panels first. By tapping on the panel with your knuckles, you can apply pressure with the palm of your other hand to different areas of the the panel and listen for the greatest effect - concentrate on those areas.

Treat rattles first with silicone caulk, tape, bits of foam - whatever it takes.
