yes, make sure you give them a good covering aswell

though look under the floor, at the rear you might have a cage under the floor that holds the spare wheel on, if thats the case, you have a option :

1. paint over it, and you will not be able to use the spare if you need to, but carry a can of puncture repair emergency air

2. undo the bolts, paint the holes etc, try not to get too much into the hole though, Then, when you put the bolts back in, put a rubber washer under it, this should keep the water from going under it

if you get the kit, u get gloves and 2 cheap rollers anyway.

yes easy to apply, just wear over/coveralls - safety goggles - as it splashes, shoe covers or old sh***y shoes - a hat to cover your hair etc.

The stuff doesn;t come off clothing so beware, and also takes time to come off the skin.

BTW - it stinks of those black permanent felt tips pens for days after - enjoy the high!
