Default New paint turned yellow

I have a pearl white sc400 and I repainted part of it in the toyota 051 paint. After a few weeks only paint in the new spots has started to turn yellow. Do any of you have any idea what this is and how to fix it?




This was a week after it was painted
This is now

I'm assuming you cleared over top? I've seen clear coat do that when it was either mixed incorrectly or cured incorrectly. Will more than likely require a sand and reshoot.

It could also be a primer that’s incompatible with paint, and not enough coats of paint applied too

Geez, who did that taping job. I'd have to agree with the other posts, the yellow spots are the exa same spots where you look to have the most primer

Good call here - worth looking into as well. Regardless, looks as though you may be in for a sand and re-spray. You may be able to sand the clear and some color down, throw a few more coats on, re-clear, and go from there.
