The hardest part was doing the stripes. But it wasn't that bad using a laser level.

We used the Calgary Flames colors from Home Depot. We used primer on the wall first. It took 2 coats for the black, white and yellow stripes. After the second coat of red we thought it was going to look terrible. After the third it looked much better and it was done after 4 coats. We had to do a lot of touch ups by the window, closet and door since some of the paint would come off when we took the tape of at those spots.
So the gift was the fact she allowed you to do it? I love gifts that have some assembly required, haha.
