Default 1982 Collector Edition wheels.

Hi, the original clear is flaking off of my collector edition wheels. Compared to the underlying aluminum it looks like The clear has a tint to it. Or could it be that the original clear has yellowed. Does anybody know if it’s a clear clear or tinted clear for these wheels. Thank you in advance.
