Not really, I bought 8 or 9 cans which means I'll have some left for touch-ups in the future....I'll also have to recover the car over winter as the paint will fade because there's very little pigment in the neon colours.

Other than that, I just bought loads of masking tape and a litre of acetone. Think the total was less than £90

Watched quite a few guides on YouTube on how to do it, but it was much easier than I was expecting. It's easy to remove overspray and generally fix any slight issues.
