I don't suppose that Rex could keep Virgin's seats, in fact they'd probably want to replace them and maybe even extend the 3-3 economy rows through to the former business class cabin and make this an NZ-style premium section with an empty seat in the middle.
I'm pretty sure that the only Virgin branded seats are J class, so that would need to be addressed before Rex could use them. I recall Economy X had branding but not Virgin specific - a headrest cover could fix that.

The external paint job would be another matter.
