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.

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
