That braid on the antenna wire is the shield for antenna lead in. It is a ground but not part of the ground circuit we are dealing with now.
There shouldn't be any green paint on the wires. Ground wire on generator should be black and go from the screw on the generator pictured to possibly a bolt on engine nearby and then to one of the mounting screws holding the headlight terminal strip onto the fender. It may just go directly into harness and straight from gen to terminal strip. Another wire or two should also be connected to that same headlight terminal strip mounting screw. One would go directly to regulator.
