Is that a Hakone blending with the background?

The yellow is inside the structure where you would never see. The cockpits are usually some shade of green but it is not the zinc paint.
It is far more common than you may think

LOL IN fact it is very very common on the Mustangs

When I said stuck my head in, I mean the bowels of the beast. They usually open up some access panels, or there may be one partially restored and they have some of it onsite for fund raising purposes.

But, that said, I'm sure there was high percentage of them that were yellow.

Well they could have just forgone primer completely like the Japanese did!

The 40 cigarettes they probably smoked a day while applying it likely countered the effects.

Hmmmmm Yep that'll do.

That's it. That's the perfect green right there. It gets darker when it absorbs grease.

My sloth-pace WIP for the leather interior. Gotta figure out just how much of the sides of the seats I can use leather on since the door panels will be glued in place, so I don't want to push it out because of the leather and misalign them.

That is the one they call "yellow" zinc chromate. I have some of that which I may add a bit more green to.

You have more patience than I do! I would have slapped some textured masking tape on there, painted it red and said "there it's leather".

That's probably a "work smarter, not harder" way, which I probably should have done. LOL. I just wanted to try something different.

Ha! Whatever color it's called, it'll be spot on after your custom patina.
