I can get a good deal on a Honda for my daughter. She's not fond of the red, white and blue scheme, but when she saw a green Kawasaki, she said it was a step in the right direction because it was her favorite color. Is it a sin to paint a Honda with a Kawasaki color?

Nope. I did exactly that with a Honda car.

Why not paint it with a real Honda green color?

Fit colors in Japan

My thoughts on the subject should be fairly obvious...

Honda built about eleventy billion CB350s back in the 1970s that were green.

As this is the 'Sprockets' section, you do realise I'm talking about motorcycles, not cars.

My CB360 was orange. Waaaayyyy cooler.

Back on topic:

Honda made the 2009 CBR600RR in green.

Just for the record, I think its fine to paint whatever you have whatever color you like, but I also understand not wanting to put up with stupid comments from Honda and Kawi owners all the time.

I click on the new posts link, so I never pay attention to what section I'm posting it. So no, I didn't.

Precisely my concern.

In the '70s, Yamahas were yellow - they later became blue.

Suzukis were blue at some point, but later became yellow.

Paint a Honda green, it won't be too much more confusing.

I'm painting my Suzuki green, so why not. Of course, I'm going with OD Green, so maybe it would be confused with a HD?

Not unless it's dressed in chrome, leaking and not running.
