Boy does this bring back memories. A friend of mines dad owned one of the local auto parts stores. He sold all kinds of parts for cars, and farm equipment, did machining, and also sold auto paint. Racers would come buy and want him to sponsor them, so often he would give them paint that had been incorrectly color mixed. More than once I heard people at the track ask why there’s were so many yellow race cars. The reason was that this parts house mixed all the paint for the school buses in the county, and the counterman that worked there was color blind, and didn’t know it. So, when he mixed certain colors, they didn’t look quite right, so he would “fix” them. There were quite a few yellow hot rods in our town as well, for the same reason.
