[V8] Pearl White - Yellowish

[Tony and Lillie]

I've seen two other cars this way, in the case of the two I saw, both were 
repainted at some point in their life. There are different shades of pearl, 
so matching can be tough.

However, perhaps your car was repainted a lighter shade than normal at some 
point, making you think his car is "yellow". I've even been told mine is 
cream, though it's the original paint (and in great shape) to the car.

Dave C's old V8 was repainted with alpine white and a white pearl, and is 
very white. Our cars used a yellow pearl. I believe there is also a blue 
pearl that the industry uses, who knows how many possible shades of each.

To the original question, no way to change the color other than a repaint. 
And, not cheap if done correctly, would easily exceed the typical selling 
value for a V8Q. However, for a nice shine obviously the car can be buffed 
out.
