I ran across some Aero Gloss Gloss Clear that my neighbor had sitting in the back of his truck for about 2 years. Seem a bit yellow, but still very thin. I'm sure its still good except for the yellowing. What kind of pigment can I add and where can I get it.

Go to an auto supply store and get some pigment for lacquer. Works fine. Even if the dope were a little thick, you could add a bit of thinner and it should be fine. Some people complain about this or that not working over these and those, but Aero Gloss usually goes under most anything. Maybe you should use it for covering and filler coats before adding the color and top coats. Then you wouldn't need pigment.
