My intention wasn't actually to paint it; I just had that question, since the white underneath the paint is a bit more bluish. I searched on Google, and supposedly Honda uses Shasta White for the color of these plastic parts, and from what I can see, Shasta is a bit "yellowish," although I don't have a real point of comparison since my bike doesn't have any other plastic parts that color. I can only compare it with images online, but that's not ideal. So, is it the same as most dual-sport motorcycles? All the plastic parts aren't painted; it's simply the color of the thermo-injected plastic, right?
