Paint for bottom of steering stem?

[nc_rider]

The bottom of the steering stem.. the cast part.. is it supposed to be painted or just zinc plated? If it's painted is it gloss/satin/flat?

PO rattle canned a nice thick coat of flat black on mine.

I know it's one of those parts that is pretty well hidden, but I'm curious what the folks at Honda thought it should be.

My guess is: Same color as body, same paint.
