Is that bollocks?
Yes. Lead chromate is still used in automotive paints in the EU and US. It was supposedly banned in the EU as part of REACH in 2015 but there were (and I think are still) exemptions in place. Golf - bright yellow - was in the BMW colour charts on and off throughout the 70s and 80s. So I'm calling that one out as bollocks.

In my head I have a vaguely remembered "fact" about Prince. And the yellow BMW in his Sexy MF video.
Before this point in time yellow paints had too much lead to be able to be used. This video marks the point when lead in yellow paint was low enough to be used/non existent.
