How to give a sports bike personal flare? Do people paint it?

I've never had nor kept up with sports bikes but I'm in the market for a new bike and there are some good sports bikes in my range. However if I got one I'd want to make it 'mine'.
I just want to know what's the deal with the 'coat' over them? I heard you can buy new ones and replace them, is this true? Is it expensive? What about just painting it, does that work? Perhaps stickers?
I really don't know so please fill me in.

Talkin about the red, as an example.

If anyone cares I actually do have a cool helmet, check link.

Answer
To really personalize a bike is very expensive, custom paint jobs don't come cheap and more often than not they don't add anything to the looks of the bike and almost never add value. A cheaper alternative is to buy a clean classic bike or an older model that is not often seen.

The clothes you wear also effect the look of the bike, there's something not quite right about wearing a sports helmet on a cruiser.
