Are you talking about screws that hold the blocks to the car?

Or about screws that hold the underbody panels to the wood blocks?

If you mean screws that hold the panels on the car, then you probably would not want to coat them, as doing that will make taking the panels off later on rather difficult.

The panels are going to get doused and will collect water typically, so you just have to live with that and any screws that hold them on as well.

Lots of my screws need to be replaced once per year because they get pretty rusted from the Wisconsin road salt in the winter.
