    The plastic "is" the color through and through.
    I assume this is the case for all Spyders, & Rykers?
    Only the black is through molded. Other colors in the PC/ABS allow used in the molding will color-shift in the injection molding process, making it hard to match colors between suppliers. On the 5 F3 models we've owned, even the pearl white was painted over black plastic base. The best paint on any consumer motorcycle is from Harley-Davidson (well, except for the denim-finish crapola that is on some of them). All of the gloss finished have been clear coated.

    The painter, Aaron Smith, Weatherford, TX, is nearing completion of the paint. The Nason paint being applied is solvent-based.

    Interesting.
    As noted, my 23' "Green Shadow" is through molded. Proven by my stealth carve out of a piece of it with a razor knife.
