Frame decals?

I was wondering if it is possible to get some frame decals that are simply just designs. I dont mean things like frame decals that have a brand on them. For example "Specialized, GT, Trek" etc. Ive had a look on eBay and i cant find anything. Is there a company or anything/anywhere else that does these kind of frame decals? This is a picture of one of my frames to show what i mean.

Ill keep them in mind, cheers paul.
The only thing i dont like about the chucker is that its gonna be hard to get a nice colour scheme going with the light blue, black and white. Im looking to spray it, but im still not too sure as the current paint is near enough in perfect condition. And i would have liked something vaguely similar to whats on there, like some sort of design but with a different colour.0 -

Also look at skateboard/surfboard and car/caravan decals. I once took a section of tribal design from a much larger pattern designed to run down the side of a caravan and put it on a bike (even did it with a guitar).0

YeehaaMcgee, i disagree, i dont think those particular designs look that old, but i do know what you mean.

Have a look at hydro dipping.0 -
I had a look, and im amazed. That was quite something! Do you need a specific sort of vinyl for that? and that activator spray paint thing that he had aswell?
By the way, in the other post i wasnt talking about doing a carbon wrap, i was talking about having carbon effect decals. I contacted a company and i am now awaiting a reply. If they do do the carbon vinyl, ive got the images and dimensions of what i want ready to send to them. If not, ill try other companies or ask if i could send them a vinyl sheet that they could do it for me with.
This is going to be very very marmite, but here it is. Now this my friend looks 90s! It is similar to a font ive seen on a chucker frame, and is also similar in style to the marzocchis texts that they use on the bomber forks sometimes. Thats what gave me the ideas
The decals wont be all "in your face" because they will be on a very dark metallic grey lacquered background.
The GT one is just normal.

You do know the 90s was a real thing that some of us lived through right, it's not a made up adjective that kids can apply to something willy, nor indeed nilly.
You need a licence for that.0 -

I know it doesnt look 90s it looks more like 1066... I was implying that it looked it old.
I like this chuck norris joke: Chuck norris can empty a swimming pool with a fork, on a rainy day.0 -
