My guess, strictly based on my experience with non-bike and non C&V bike people, is that she mentioned the word 'paint' only to show that she's serious about having the job done right.
When I was an apprentice mechanic in the 1980's we had a retired woman who always brought us her 1950's something American car for it's regular service. It was her only car and had been purchased new by her now deceased husband. She was very particular with the vehicle and we were never permitted to keep the vehicle for more than one day as she worried about it's security. Each appointment she'd type a detailed numbered list of everything she wanted done to the car. It was always always the same basic service "#1 oil change, #2 rotate tires, #3 adjust valves, #4 fill fluids" . . . etc.
One time, the final item on the list, #15 was . . . . "paint the car".
