sandpaper your body (if you can remove the neck so much the better.) Using outdoor oil based house paints use a technique called sponging (go to Sherwin Williams site and look through the types of faux painting) use at least 3 colors with the top (third color) used very sparingly. use flat paint and let the glaze give you the shine, use a roller as much as possible to avoid brush strokes on the bottom coat. You'll use a sea sponge on the other coats so it wont really matter Once you get it painted spay laquer on it. maybe distressing the paint will look cool.

Spend a couple bucks and get a decent sign shop to wrap it.

If it's a simple enough design, make it into a stencil?

Check out Caparison Guitars, they do a similar thing for a LOT of their guitars. The creator of them used to be a master builder for Jackson in the late 80's early 90's and was the creator of a few sig guitars and a guitar called the Falcon. It had that "sponge" effect on it too.
