Also thinking of doing the front grills in the lime green as well, shall see what I decide on when I get it back from having the head gasket replaced.

Think all the stuff for the spraying came to about £20 from halfords, I may be wrong though, just take off or mask up the parts you want to spray, sand them down with some 240 wet and dry paper, give it a couple of coats of white primer, letting each coat dry before the next, then a couple of coats of the neon orange, again letting it dry between each coat, then depending on what sort of finish you want you can leave it at that for a matt finish, or apply some coats of clear laquer, each coat giving it more shine to the finish, laquer takes a bit longer to dry though so be careful, pretty easy really, only thought I would give it g o after seeing there was only one can of neon paint left at my local halfords lol.
