Yellow's and white's are the best ground coats and the most used for pearls, including a lot of airbrush work/graphics. So no, you are not misinformed, but....
To achieve the true effect of using pearls a person needs to use a ground coat (yellow) followed by a mid coat (red) followed by the top coat (pearls) and then cleared. This example would produce candy rootbeer brown. If the correct shade of red was sprayed and the correct amount, more or less could kill the effect. In reality the possibilities are endless. The final effect is what the painter wants to achieve. Pearls and flakes are fun.
Back to your question. Can you pearl or flake on top of the clear that's covering yellow. Sure can. Will the effect be the same as my example? Probably not, but that doesn't matter.
I can take 3 different red pearls and some gold and white pearls and create on your yellow jeep a cool overall color without actually seeing yellow.
Google chysler paint code PV6. It's a rusty looking color, has some pearl in it and I think it would really pop on top of yellow.
To hide the yellow but use it's hue using only pearls is going to require a lot of pearl. IMO not cost effective.
What color would you like to have? If I knew a general color I could point you in the right direction as far as materials go.
A couple of coats of a red pearl which would have mostly a base clear mixed in won't really do much other the give the yellow a sparkly effect.
I think if you are actually wanting the yellow to go away you will have to repaint with a midcoat and if you want a pearl effect then you can topcoat. But before you toss any ideals out let me know a general color you want and if I have to I'll some some test panels here and post the pics to show how the puzzle works. I have several panels I need to get done for another member so I'll just do them all at once.
