I am with Paulr on this subject.

I took big time out to strip down a Scott Octaine, got the frame stripped to nothing and ended up with the front Y frame/fork legs/ and rear sub frame bare.

I payed to have it powder coated and decided that one colour would be too bland so mixed it up a bit, red fork legs, green Y frame and red rear sub.

The job its self was spot on, although some threads were not covered so needed tapping out,and certain pieces of tubing had small holes drilled in them.

But when I rebuilt the bike again with care and effort over 4 nights in my garage after work.....it looked sh1te. (Maybe sh1te is a little harsh, it wasnt to my expectation)

You need a decal kit, and you need a photoshop of your bike so you can mess with the colours.

I will never do it again, its easier and possibly cheaper if you account for you time, to buy a new bike.
