For the longest time, via the internet, I kept watch on PC availability & pricing, in-part to encourage my brother to upgrade his Starflyte to a PC. I had seen maybe 6 PCs where the Diamond shield had turned a dark brown, like it was burnt from sun damage.  I wonder if that level of damage can be removed safely.  I imagine it would not peel-off, rather requiring aggressive scraping.

I had a little taste of removing via scraping, a 3M product from the rear deck lid of a Saturn Sky, a product similar to Diamond Shield that was badly sun damaged.  That was a very serious project for me.  Two small areas took me days to remove.
