Everything within spraying distance had little red or silver dots on it, including anything inside the barn near the sides, also one dog (red paws) and the other dog (silver ears).

The paint is on plenty thick and when my wife pointed out areas that were not done correctly, they promptly resprayed them. I'd use them again, just cover everything with plastic first!
