Be careful what you paint or don't paint
This is a bike that I saw yesterday. The silver that you see is actually the raw metal. I did not ask how the design was made, but I was told that there was clear coat over it. The problem was that there was small specks of rust from small rock pecks and he didn't know what he was going to do about it. It really did look good.

i have seen those bikes in the show room floor and dam bad ***.
There is a sticker on them in the show room that warn its bare metal under it and to watch for chips and how to care for it a touch up clear or something like the touch up paint is available if memory serves me.
Basically they buff grind that design it paint the rest of the tank then clear coat it all. Would be my opinion on how it is done.

Yup, it's clear over bare metal. It's a cool custom paint technique, but, it's best saved for show bikes only. Clear coat isn't designed to go over bare metal. There are certainly going to be adhesion and durability issues. On a bike ridden regularly, you'd pretty much want to look it over after every ride, and touch up any chips. I'm guessing you'd be looking at major failure of the clear somewhere down the road... maybe a couple of years.
