This doesn't look too serious, but I noticed my G1W-C (from SpyTec) turned brown after a few months. Is it normal? Could it just be the type of paint & plastic they used in the factory?
The funny thing, its not Summer yet. :eek:

Should I spray paint it or could I just cover the camera with black electrical tape?
 
It's normal, sun fades certain paints. I've seen the lens housing ring turn brown on several products over the years.
 
I don't want to take it apart. Can I just use a paint brush and a cup of spray paint? What type of paint do you recommend?

Plasti Dip would probably be safe bet, you can peal it off if you mess up as well. Just make sure you don't get any on the lens or inside the vents. (cover everything extra tight)
