I picked up a full set of silver bodywork and have just that in the works. A P40 Warhawk, aka Fighting Tiger. Need to decide on a pinup girl for the mid fairing(how 'bout a redhead, Ang? Miss Behavin'  ). Gonna put bullet holes and H-D bar & shield, Honda wings and such on the lower for kill signs. Got a pic doctored up in my paint program but I dont know how to convert a bmp to a jpg so I can post it. i um kumpewdur ulledirit. Don't know squat about photoshop either. I'll send the pic to somebody if they want.
EDIT: Looked a bit and found this, not as "authentic" as what I have in mind but you get the idea. I found some accurate pics of old warbirds.

BTW Richard, somebody at Gap 1 had a red 12 with the marbled look purple(like your green) painted on the gas tank, triple clamp and a bunch of other stuff. Has a nice look to it with the red. Can't remember whose it was.

Coolest paint I have ever seen was a GSXR 1100 (I was at Laguna) painted like a navy fighter plane, rivits and all. All the little no step, warning messages. It looked like the bodywork was actually made from aluminum squares. So cool.

When I had my Blackbird I wanted to paint it like a SR71. Put the rivets and all that on it. "Stay Clear of Jet Blast" etc. I just couldn't find a painter to tackle it. It sounds like the GSXR Ted described above must have been beautiful to look at. I could definitely get in to a paint job like that.

I reposted it and it is working again. Who in the hell knows what happened, it was still where I had stored it, oh well.
Have any of you looked at city buses with advertizing paint schemes? Around here they are using a computer printed graphic that is adhesive applied. I think that they could take any photo and make graphics that could be applied to a bike. Might be worth asking about if you dont mind decals instead of airbrush art.

I wonder where I could get a decal of a baboons ass so I could put it on Ninjamans bike at the next deals gap event?
