    Re coated it with a sound deadning coat which sets rock hard, keyed that and then a heavy coat of spray sealer which is brilliant, it sets like rubber just like the stuff vauxhall put on on in the factory. You need a special gun to spray it and it cost 8.50 a tube, I used ten tube which is the down side but it's definently worth it. Schutz should never put anywhere near a car, its crap and doesn't protect it!!
