You have already answered you own question. It should be done, maybe you can even get an artist to freehand her name on the bike somewhere too.

Sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine (having 5 daughters), anyway paint it. My wifes bike is purple, she used House of Kolor, awsome paint, beautiful color, she gets compliments all the time.

I think it's a very nice tribute. Whether understated, Barney purple or whatever you like, it's cool.

Me? I'd consider getting some design help to make sure the reality matched your vision.

Do it. Sorry for your loss. Unimaginable for me. As innocent youth, she will be looking down on you and loving you.
