instead of painting a bike you take vinyl and make the design you want and its printed out on the vinyl and then you "wrap" it laying it over the paint . http://www.vehiclewraps.ca/

You wont be able to do a wrap anyway without cutting it, however, you can do some type of decal kit or replica kit,

I agree, or you would have to carefully heat it and kind of stretch it on, if thats even
possible. As a side note, I did a some "red" touch up on my red/black F4i by buying
a few feet of red auto vinyl decal material from a sign supply place in Seattle/Tukwila.
First you stop by and grab one their color brochures to match up the shade.
Its amazing how may shades of red they have available.

It is possible but I wouldnt try it if you never installed one, if you mess up it could end up costing alot of $$ in redos.
the nice thing about wraps is(1.) you dont get small lines where the vinyl overlaps and (2.) If you dont likehow it looks after 2 years or so it can come back off unlike having it painted.
