My girlfriend is a chemist who makes paint for a living. She said an
alkyd or an epoxy would yellow, however a urethane would never. She
said the only cure would be to strip it off and repaint it. If it is
indeed an alkyd you want it off anyway, that is garbage paint.
"Always use urethane clear coat." :p
it was proly repainted at some point with a cheapy paint, are you
second owner+?
