24 to 29.97 to color to 29.97?

I have RedOne footage shot at 23.98 and I would like to be able to edit in a 29.97 timeline since it is a spot going to air and my client monitor only displays 29.97 signal.
So far so good, all of the above works just fine until I send it to color and then bring it back into FCP. I seems to have done the 3:2 pulldown again after color making the footage out of sync with the audio now.
Is color doing another pulldown when I send a 29.97 time line with 23.98 footage, and can it be avoided with out doing a quicktime mixdown of the footage since I don't want to loose the "RED" room inside of color? The color settings say the project is 23.98 even though is was sent from a 29.97 timeline and of course the frame rate is already locked when I send it from FCP. I have looked back in the posts but have not seen anything on this, sorry if it has been covered
