I normally use a paint brush as, when I use my finger, the paint get's behind my nails.

Get a ground anchor, people ignore alarms soon as they've shut the doors and windows to keep out the noise.
I've had bikes on my driveway for 3 years the Stormex cover is good.

I live in an old cottage in the country - so there obviously was not much use for a garage when it was built circa 1810!
I have therefore modified a small garden shed (extending the front slightly) putting down a concrete base with a home made ground anchor.
All this was very cheap and has the added effect of looking like a normal garden shed rather than an unsightly bike store!

Yeah, but they are teeny tiny and on the bottom, plus there are only a couple?

Kryptonite ground anchore drilled into the ground, abus granite 1.2 metre chain around the FRAME and a bike cover. Touch wood mine is still there out the front of my house in Streatham for the last 2 years. Oh and get an alarm, ******** to what anyone says about an alarm, it IS a deterent and it IS another thing for them to tackle so anything to slow them down is good in my books and I might hear it if no one else.

Just make sure you spend the money on a decent chain and ground anchor first rather than an expensive alarm.

Don't worry so much about the moisture. If you clean it enough it won't be so much of a problem.
