It started to turn brown because of overspray in some areas. Being the spray paint newb that I am, I thought more layers of paint will fix it but nooooo. It ruined the whole cover so I bought a new one.

I did mines at home with some high-temp spray paints found at kragen.
Cost me about 30 bucks if I remember. 1 primer, 1-2 paint, 1 can of clear.

My bodyshop wanted to charge me 100+ to get it done in WDP, no thanks~

I got to admit that some of these members on here are very talented in what they do. Especially jptl04 & 07TLTYPES420. Nice carbon fiber and design inside the engine bay. I get very obsessed and very jealous just by looking at these pictures.
