I used a paint called Quietcar. It is supposed to work as well or better than mats. It is light weight in comparison to mats, and much cheaper considering the area covered. About $60/gallon, but I still have some of one gallon left, and I did the entire inside of my Ghia with three coats. I think it helps quite a bit. It is defineately much quieter, but it is kind of hard to tell how much the paint did, as I also put in carpet and insulation, and a back seat, all of which was lacking before the sound deadening. I am still planning on painting areas in the trunk, and under the floor pans. Maybe even in the wheel wells if I get a chance. The website is www.quietcar.net.

I just purchased and installed a single 50' role of B-Quiet Extreme ($85) and had enough to do the entire inside of my '69 standard (not including the roof)--I may have enough left over to do a second layer on the front of the floorboards or in the panels.
The stuff went in very easy, sticks almost too good, and I am pleased with the deadning effect it has. With a layer of carpet padding on top I should have a very quiet bug.
