Default Aftermarket undertail question - repaint friendliness?

Hi, I recently bought an '06 F4i, and naturally I want to do something about that silly mudflap. I was thinking about this Hotbodies undertail:
http://fatbikez.com/hotbodies-honda-...n-signals.html
...or maybe this Rumble Concept one:
http://rumble-store.com/store/rumble...006-p-731.html
Now, I'm also thinking I might have the bike repainted in the future, so my question is this: if I put one of these on the bike (prepainted in the stock blue, let's say), can it be taken apart, signals removed, etc. with reasonable ease for painting, or am I better off waiting until I go for the repaint, and doing the undertail at that time?

As an aside, I'd be happy to hear any opinions on these 'tails, or suggestions of others I should look into. Thanks.

Either way it shouldn't be to hard to disassemble the undertail.
