I think you should go for a re-spray, yellow is one of those colours that is very difficult to shade/pre-shade and often seems to work better when left to let the natural light do the shading.

Cheers

Ayup Ratch...

Solid yellow !

I think our forebears would laugh if they knew what pains we took for scale reality!

'Bang it on!' is what they'd probably say !

I personally would go for a re-spray.

Personally I would overspray that leaving a very very slight pre shade

I mean really slight so leaving just a hint so that it looks solid but not clinically so.

Might be worth a go as you can always take it one stage further and go for solid if you don't like it

I kinda like the way it looks so I would leave it as it is.

Looks cool to me as is but a light overspray would still look good and maybe look more even.
Airbrushing is something that looks like it takes awhile to get finishes that you feel happy with.

By popular demand, more airbrushing is in order  
Progress can be followed, once again, in my build thread
