Beware the difference between mfg. elaborate paint jobs (becoming more common) and aftermarket artwork. As the issue is possibly weakening safety equipment, I believe the stance all sanctions have taken is that original equipment o.k., aftermarket paint has to be approved by the mfg. for liability reasons.
The umpire has no clue whether the paint job was approved by the manufacturer or not.

This is a liability / warranty issue, not a legal / illegal equipment issue.
