Default Custom Derby Cover help

I am looking to get a custom derby cover made with the attached image. I have seen some awesome firemen badges of great quality, some photos printed on from Venom imaging, and custom etchers.
I am looking to match, or at least get close enough for it to look good, the orange roses to my HD orange moto.
I think I have a starting place, but any advice might get me going.
Thanks in advance...

It's gonna cost a bit to have a custom cover made up, but if you've got the $$$ you might check these guys out -

thanks for the links. the first one is sweet work but does not get me any color. I know I could paint it, but the color is in detailed areas and I work too many hours to have they time to do the detailed work, Id rather be riding.
the second link is better priced but still no color. I could get brass instead of orange, but color is half the reason why Im doing this.
thank you for chiming in.......

I will get to searching right now. I had a hookup from a forum member, but he was the no color option. again he could make the colored area brass, but Im not saying yes to that yet.

Can't you do the no- color etch and then have the roses powder coated? Very cool design, IMHO.
