Summed up in one word..........................................No!!!!!!

Needs to be properly rubbed down, prepared, sprayed, and sealed. Even then it will look like a crap gloss black spray job to cover up a meriad of scuffs, chips and gouges, and will probably peel in about 6 months anyway and look proper sh!t! Just restore it as best you can with a heat gun, and protect it as much as possible mate.
