You see Sky and other vans, and buses, with full colour pictures all over
them (even across the bus windows). How do they do it? Is it actual paint
or some sort of transfer? I'm particularly intrigued how they deal with
ridges and valleys in around panels etc.

Vinyl transfers usually. The ones over windows are printed using a
halftone dot pattern so that there are gaps between all the pixels. The
reverse side being black and hence non reflective. So they act as a one
way sign. You can see out from inside, but not the other way around.

And where would one go, and how much would it cost to get a a more modest
version done? Not the whole van, just covering a panel on a transit. Though
if one could do substantially the whole of a side at not-too-extortionate
cost I'd be interested. It would need to be in colour, from an original
I'd supply.

Not a recommendation since I found them from a web search the other day
when someone asked a similar question, but these people look like they
do the right sort of stuff:
