A really nice wet paint job with multiple colors is a huge amount of work.
I was thinking if I had custom graphics made I'd talk to Gus Salmon. He produces water slide decals. I'm sure the process for applying them would be the same as Doug indicated.

Well, if I'm going to go for a ride today, it better be now. Class in < two hours.
