White color MB owners, does your inner hood paint get slight yellowing ?
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.
