This is straight up the best way to get the best end product possible.
The analogy I use the most is how it works with tattoos . I am covered in tattoos, ranging from awful to slightly better than awful... but it's only on the last 3 years or so out of the 17 I've been getting tattooed that I've realised the only way to get a truly top notch tattoo that will be seen as such for life most importantly by me, but also by others who are knowledgable in the world of tattooing, is to find an artist who's quality of work and skill is top notch, but most importantly has a unique style that You love. You then need to give that chosen artist a rough direction of what you want doing, and then just put your trust in him/her to come up with the goods.
Top notch finishing skills are very important in this line of work, but in my opinion, a custom painters best asset is their creativity. Anyone can paint a bike well with practice. Coming up with a paint scheme that pushes the boundaries and changes people's opinions of what's possible/considered the norm is what we should be doing.
It's. basically impossible to do anything that hasn't already been done before these days, but that shouldn't stop you trying.

That is a lot of layers! Amazing!
I come from a creative background (photography) so I always appreciate other people's advice, except telling me how to take my photos! Nobody tells me how to take my photos! ;-)
Whenever I get custom / bespoke things done, I don't see it as I am the customer and you do as you are told. I see it as a partnership and you know better than I do in whatever custom things you are making for me.
