My best suggestion would be to go crazy with talcum powder and maybe colored chalk dust to knock the shine off the normally shiny thing you're scanning, and then have a laser pointer with a "star filter" on a tripod shining on it to make a good even dot pattern.

Then clean it all up with a shop vac afterwards of course, what's the point of a nice bike if it's not shiny?
