   There's nothing wrong with a yellow Honda rancher.In fact I have used the color to locate it in heavy timber.
Just not what I prefer.

So I took off all the Body panels, Scuffed them up a little, degreased them, and separated them in to three piles. Forward pieces, mid pieces, and rear pieces. 
I planed to white camo everything but wanted to go from light to dark for the bottom color.
Tan, Khaki, black all dead flat.
I used a plastic/fiberglass conditioner and a flexible primer made for the above. Then two coats of flat color. Re assembled the body. I then layer the colors over the base using the negative of foliage dark to light. White being the top color.
Re painted the Racks in black or white. I have a top coat flat clear to help harden the flat color paint. I'll put 3 coats of it on.

I have a gun rack for the front with a small flat bag, and a rear seat bag with stirrups for the back .
I'll put them back on after the top coat cures.
I think it is turning out OK
