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  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
