Red looks great w CF hood. Sorry to hear that.
I dont think there's much you can do to deal with it other than use a good wax that prevents UV damage (zaino is garanteed to), make sure you park indoors and prevent sudden changes in temperature of the paint. Since its black parking it in the sun makes it hot. I think most of the yellowing is from poor clearcoat and UV damage.

Do they make high quality clearcoats w/ UV protection built in? It might be worthwhile to have the hood stripped and a higher quality clearcoat applied if you want to keep the hood for a long time.
