Gents,

This yellowing of my hood inner side paint work, the hot zones one, been happening since I bought this pre-owned car in 2018 and of course it get more yellowing now
I am wondering if you guys NOT in the tropics are experiencing the same ? Its not so obvious yellowing unless you pay close attention to it.
Mine is Polar White 149.

Hard to see on camera, but I try to show :

Note : Those transparent strip is vinyl thin sticker to prevent the staining caused by the rubber gasket of engine bay.


.




The most effected zone is the hottest zone of engine bay, in red.



.

With engine bay temperature constant 85C / 185F and can get 90C / 194F in bad daytime traffic, the hood interrior paint is basically cooked and cooked ...LOL.

Yep. Had that on multiple white cars in my years. No different than the hood over your stove dealing with your food out-gassing and whatnot.
