Here’s a video of how Airbus painted one of ANA’s A380s (Flying Honu).

3,600 sqm surface area, 3,300 litres of paint, 16 different colour shades, 120 painters, 21 days in the paintshop.
That's a lot of paint! Almost 1L per m^2.

ANA StarWars was a famous one. I've seen it in the wild, but didn't get to fly it. Same with EVA Hello Kitty and Pokemon planes, And JetBlue Dunkin Donuts plane.
