That looks great ! I might have to do that !

What prep did you do before painting ?

Was it applied with a brush ? it looks realy smooth !

Have used this stuff on my Range Rover. Its like the old underseal stuff but it stays a little bit flexible - takes ages to dry. Horrible stuff to work with though, if you get it on your skin or in your hair.

Prep: nothing (but the underside had been given a go with a garage jet-wash prior - nothing too exacting, just a 2 minute job).

Application: by a 3 inch brush. They do recommend not to try to apply it too thick (IIRC it states 2mm max) and so I gave it a 2nd coat. I also did all around the front of the engine bay either side of the radiator and especially on the tray in front of the rad it tidied up things a lot.

Not an exact example, but here's the front before and the rear after for comparison:
