You can get your bike custom powder coated. That's what I did with my tourer / commuter that I built up from scratch. Set me back about $150, but the paint is pretty bullet proof and you can literally get ANY colour you want.
Here's a pic of it:

Unless you are a woman, I don't recommend it. On the seat tube, it says in Chinese "Beautiful/Pretty Woman."
While working in a bike shop a while ago, my manager sold one of these to a male heart surgeon because it was the only bike that fit him (size 48).

I'm not sure every sees it, but when you look at the bigger pictures, it's got that cool bamboo leaf pattern.
I hadn't even thought about that, but no it's not my bike. I don't even have a road bike, which is why I was browsing ebay during my spare time. Then I saw that awesome pj, and now when I get a bike, I'm gonna paint it like that =D I'd even buy that bike if it wasn't a womens (don't know what difference it really makes).

I want a frame that's a bright/almost fluorescent orange or some sort of 'hot' color.

I for one would like to see some color back in the peleton. Bikes these days come in black, white or red, with 90% of them being in "black''' (gotta make sure people know your bike is carbon).
