I would recommend running spotties whilst the engines not running for manual vehicles only :D

I used killrust ocean on mine.. come up a treat.. about 80 bucks worth of paint.. Only problem with it is its an enamel and takes shit load of time to dry.. so you are better off doing the rig all in one hit.. and you need a nice big garage to do it in.. Not a show room finish but good enough IMHO...
