Drop off at good, competent body shop and have them duplicate the Tenni Green paint scheme. Then have the seat recovered to match the brown. All of this can be accomplished more economically than most would expect, especially if you can do some of the work yourself.
I did this with my wife's Ducati Monster. Got a great deal on a plain white one. Took all the body work off and prepped it for paint myself(basically just a scotch brite pad rub down), dropped it off at my friend's shop - a few days later picked up amazing looking body work that was even better looking than what she fell in love with(Mach 1 Art kit). Cost me just under $300.
I used to be plain boring white:

Have you ever priced factory spoked wheels for the Griso? This alone will add around $3,000 to your project.

I would hope instead of painting the silver and black body work you would trade it for a set of black or better yet red body work to be painted.

In the USA I am pretty sure the ONLY new model Griso you can buy has spoked wheels.
No need to add them. Although I prefer the silver and black paint scheme, all you would have to do is get the plastic painted as mentioned, along with the seat recovered.

In reality the OP didn't even mention entertaining doing a project bike. So the last half of this thread is moot.
It sounded like he was looking for a new Griso in the Tenni green w/brown seat scheme. If he wanted a used bike he could buy a used Tenni or any of the other versions of Griso that have been sold. But as he was looking for a new one, the only version available this year in the USA in the silver and black version. It is not a special version that one would pay a premium for (any more then one pays to buy a Guzzi in the first place). It is just a color scheme. The price for a silver and black Griso is no higher then for any other color, EXCEPT YOU CAN NOT BUY ANY COLOR OTHER THEN THE SILVER AND BLACK VERSION NEW IN 2013.Perazzimx14 said:Why would the OP buy a new 2012/13 Griso and make changes to it?

That said, if you want a new Griso in the USA and you want it green with a brown seat you are probably going to have to do it yourself as all the leftover Tenni's appear to be gone (yes, there were a lot of leftover Tenni's, but I think they have finally sold).
You could paint the silver and black body work whatever color you wished but I would suggest trading it for a more boring set in a solid color as it would be easier to paint. But no one is talking about Krylon from a spray can. WTF?
