Yeah I think that might be factory applied ivory. I think they sometimes painted custom colors on top of Japan since it did such a good job filling in the imperfections. Although…the paint on that blade is in pretty good shape. No idea on the why the gearbox is black though. I mean you’d think anyone that was going to paint it would’ve just painted the box too. Fwiw that fiber washer on the rotor shaft when you shined the light in there, that looked pretty bright red like a newer one not the older ones. So…those electrical guys must’ve been in there. Maybe they swapped gearboxes too.
Nice video Larry!!
@@jdftx thank you my friend!

Could be. We may never know!
