Well, I could imagine the judge ruling that they have to wait for a regular maintenance check when painting would ordinarily take place.
Those Song birds were recently painted... and if they're spending money to paint them again, out of the maintenance rotation, it's hard to make the case that's an expense they can't live without. (The color of the plane doesn't really affect the passenger experience.)
I do know some all-Y planes that are now wearing DL colors, and I've been on at least two reconfigured ships still painted green.
