yes--you're still missing the idea that this is stain, not paint. it's really another form of dye, like the fretboard dye you're also buying, just dye made for bodies.
so make sure when you read up on instructions or methods, read ones for staining not for painting. if you follow painting instructions with that stain product, it will not turn out right.
as for the wiring and switches, if you don't mind having both pickups split at the same time, then you only need one of those little switches because one switch can split two pickups. you get a little less flexibility--both pickups would have to be either split or full on, not one split and one full. but most people never want only one split, so the single switch splitting both works fine [like on the JS ibanezes]. you can also use a push-pull pot to do it if you'd rather not drill extra holes.
