Is this prior to coming into Ulmer Park?  Also, what’s the status of the other 4 buses. Will they come down to Ulmer?

At that time, it was at Gun Hill. They were repainted a long time, even the ones that are at Grand Av (same time-frame to the XD-40s 4800s being repainted). The other 5 I've heard they are being kept for service to maintain the total but, that can change (maybe  for orchard beach summer service, maybe not, who knows?)

Maybe they're repainting other fleets (4800, OG, C40s) and don't think they need them yet 

In addition most of those SI-NG's now at MHV are currently wrapped.  Wraps are slowly returning back to Manhattan Division, express bus divisions and Brooklyn Division.

Why aren't those ex-SI #4200 NGs repainted yet?

Only a handful of them were even repainted since the wrap covered the majority of the body. Now that the wraps are off, they are in clear need of a repaint, but they'll probably just go with the next O7 NG cycle. The MTA rarely repaints such a small number of buses at once, unless it's a depot paint shop doing one-offs.

Wrapped with an ad around the side maybe, but not wrapped-wrapped a la SBS. And many of the MV buses are still missing ads on the back or rear. A couple even have SI depot stickers still.

The buses that were on SBS duty were overhauled but never got the wrap taken off for the underlying paint to be done. That's why Manhattanville did their patchwork on the buses that needed them.

Some of the early 4000s were repainted while in SI (through 2017/18), so they're not due for a repaint and won't get one before retirement.
