Composites used in green area?

That seems to be Chengdu's primer of choice for their composite parts. The locations match up with past descriptions of where composites have been applied.
But wait, the J-20 didn't have that green primer... and it probably has a much higher composite ratio.
Primer color not necessarily means anything, F-22 and f-35 are all green primered

It might have something to do with the fact that J-20 needs to have special stealth coating applied, whereas J-10 and JF-17 only need a coat of aviation paint. In any event, for none-stealthy Chengdu airframes, greenish primer are used in places where we know composites have been applied, especially wing skins.
