While lacking smoke, the heat-sensitive paint adjusts its coloring via pigments, changing color as the temperature swings. The whole process costs just $320, but it will only last four to six months, due to excessive damage from UV light exposure.

I wonder what happens from the UV damage...do the colors not change anymore or will it fade and look oxidized...

$320 in paint sounds pretty normal. Labor is what kills it
