Depends what what you woul class as overkill!
Jake Rusby has done this on a few bikes. It can go either way in my opinion. Colour choice would play a big part in which way it went...
considered painting the frame one colour, and then the frame graphics, stem and guards all in a complimetary alternate colour? Like this Mosaic, but with guards.

Yeah neither of those are really doing it for me tbh. I found that surly, I think maybe this sort of scheme (not as lairy a colour) could be good: frame stem and rack co-ordinated. Much like the Salsa Casseroll too which I thought was a decent looking bike.
Did I imagine seeing something about you going public with your painting services?
Probably the right place to ask, do we think that painting frame, mudguards and stem in the same finish on a modernish functional/road build would be way overkill? Just two of the above, or anyone seen all 3 done well? I seem to remember there was a yellow Surly that did that, but can't find it now.
