I'm sure most people wouldn't do what i did, but just incase anyone desides to clean there engine bay with simple green (which works great!), don't spray it on the hoodliner. it will discolor it. like this...

anyone done this before? how do i fix it? can i only paint it?

 

if you paint it, make sure you use some high-temp paint!

 

wow that looks bad, I'm surprised the simple green did that its pretty much safe on almost anything.

 

try putting some engine dressing on it and see if it goes away

 

you could just paint it with high temp paint
