I'd suggest powder coating over a rattle can job. Much more durable.
That is of course if your happy with a colour they do regularly, which will make it more affordable.
Rattle can jobs can look just as good initially but after a few rides show the undercoat from chips and scratches.

Where did you get the double barrel decals from?

Wondering if that 'NLdesigns' sticker in the middle of the photo might be who?

Plenty of places have computer cut vinyl decal setups - you just make a high-res image and send it through, and they send back the decals with application tape ready to go.

Magneto are one such mob in Australia I know of.

Yeaps got the decals from nldesign
I tried locally =( 3 shops (automotive vinyl/design cards/sticker shop) quoted me around $85 for a set of frame decals and they couldn't do neon color ...
Nld quoted me $60 with shipping, no brainer lol and hes a good chap to deal with.
Got all my stuff from him, couldn't recommend anyone else.

No brainer all right... You would have to have no brain to pay $60 (Let alone $85) for a couple of stickers.
