Yep Harlan is right standard Gas Vesciant Paint......which is more ochre in colour than red the old picture quality makes it more redder than it actually was.......nice picture that...

Red is tracer, black or silver armour peircing blue incendiary...combinations of colours mean combinations of components.

True , but silver is for the combination of AP and INC. , very good for planes. Note the wooden log in the hood gap , wasn't that to aid in cooling ?

Is this that same star..was it painted red inside?

As far as the OP pic , yes , same type but they filled in the gaps in the ring caused by the stencil . There was a pre-war version of this that had a red disc in the center of the star....deleated early as it triggered a lot of rising sun misidentifications.

I have not run across the silver ( or aluminum ) with blue for API that I recall. Is it very early or very late production ?
