I thin Axesrus do rolls of tape if you go that way.

I bought a roll of it years ago and used it to put extra screening in amp cabs, and I think I used it on a guitar or two. Obviously you can't solder onto it, but easy to screw in a connector
about £7 a roll for 75mm x 45m
Probably worth considering for anyone keen to cut costs

Do you need to prepare the surfaces of the cavity with anything before taping? The guitar I'm looking at has some shielding paint in there already.

I'd prefer to use shielding paint to avoid the cuts, but it doesn't look like it has the same effect/longevity.
Graphite based shielding paint can be dirty to work with. Read my thread about the Rustins G Shield:
Shielding Paint - Making & Modding Discussions on theFretBoard
Brushing some lacquer onto the paint afterwards made it cleaner to work inside the cavity.
If you fancy spending about £50 you can buy tins of copper spray from places like RS Components. It's mostly used for creating electrical connections (eg. circuits on paper or boards) rather than for shielding, but it would probably do a fantastic job in a guitar cavity if you were prepared to mask the entire guitar and pay that much money for one can of aerosol.
