I've done it a couple of times on my black 2015. Not a paint pro so just tape, paper and rattle cans.
The green that is on now I did five fulls coats of opaque product and it is definitely more durable and longer lasting than the first look I did with the copper color - 2 coats of opaque and 3 coats of the copper ( which is transparent, thinner and just contains copper colored flakes). The copper scheme, scuffed easily and sometimes "tore" when rubbing against it while loading or leaning. The copper look needed more base coats.
The green has lasted since August - no holes or rub points. It definitely doesn't clean as well as the paint - some scuffs and marks won't wash off.
I have specifically avoided dipping areas that would have friction & contact with the rider.
I would not expect the dip to last in places where my legs would rub. Just an opinion - haven't tested it.
Green in August near start of 4K trip (Aug 2015)
Green now (January) for comparison (Jan 2016)
Notice the dark spots on the left mirror - scuffing I can't get off without removing the dip
