Ive seen this type of wrap product used when the wife was designing signs.
It gets printed up in a giant printer then they apply to the cab and it changes the colour ect to the advertisers with out damageing the original finish underneath.
I had had the idea of wrapping a seven instead of painting the ali.

Its basicly a sticky back stretchable pastic sheet that can do 3 d curves.
