How hard is it to get all the badging off and the main faring? That might be the less expensive way to go. She could then pick out the color. I trust her taste in colors for bikes, she is pretty good. Something to think about.

All the badging is held on with double sided tape, mine pried off with a small flat screwdriver fairly easily. If that fails the old bodymans trick is super fine wire wrapp both ends around a couple pieces of dowel and slide it in behind using a sawing motion to cut the tap. Then you scrape the tape residue off both sides. On the emblems clean the backs well with wax and grease remover, do not use gun wash or solvent as it will damage the plastic and slops WILL damage the paint on the emblems. Installation is easy, buy the proper tape from a bodyshop supply store, I used 2-3 strips of 1/2 inch wide tape on mine, cut em to rough length, apply to emblem, trim excess, then remove backing and reapply. I think I installed all of mine in a couple hours. Generally on an older bike the tape is dried out and they come of very easily :clapper:
