Will Pearl White Turn Yellow?

[DiRuth]

Pearl paint is not prone to yellowing, but avoid repainting as it's difficult to guarantee no color difference once repainted. Composition of pearl paint: Pearl white is not pure white, so it appears slightly yellower than pure white. Regular white car paint is achieved with pure white paint, while pearl white involves an additional step—mixing pearl powder (also called mica flakes) into the pure white paint base. Therefore, the resulting pearl white has a pearlescent hue rather than being pure white. Maintenance of pearl paint: Using cleaning wax to polish the entire car will prevent yellowing, followed by applying a layer of polishing wax to make the car shine. Waxing is generally recommended every 2-3 months, but the duration of wax protection varies depending on the environment and weather conditions. You can determine whether waxing is needed by checking the car's surface—if it feels smooth to the touch, waxing isn't necessary; if it feels like sandpaper, it's time to apply wax.
