Geekmode On.
Oil based white paint actually goes yellow more quickly when not exposed to sunlight,I have no Idea why and cannot be bothered to look it up but it is true.
Geekmode off.

No problems with mine, just a nice lacquer crack on the back of the BB shell...

solvent based aromatic paint chemistry. New water based stuff is a lot better at resisting yellowing. The pigments also help but it's like the difference between old gloss and new water based satinwood.
