cracking paint scheme - who painted it, love the details

Local painter to me Flakeys Custom Paint, top bloke and very helpful, he specialises in custom motorbike paintwork but has painted pretty much everything else!
I was going for just the orange swirl effect but then saw a Union Jack guitar hanging up in his entrance, went home and got the boys pencil crayons out, Dave suggested putting a wave into the flag so it flowed in with the swirls, it's just a shame it doesn't look as bright in the pictures !
 
Re:

Very nice mate ,hopefully pop around on a ride this week to have a proper look. Seems he's done a spot on copy of your drawings.
Think it means I'll have to get mine done now. :D

Disaster!

Had my LBS fit my crown race and headset and they scratched my paint ! :facepalm:
It was an accident and they are very good to me, but I must admit I feared the worst when I listened to their answer phone message ....

Ah mate, I feel for you. That's terrible :(

How did they manage to do that?

Can you get it touched up?
