Well, it's too late now, but you can de-yellow aging plastic with hydrogen peroxide.

Initially I had done precisely that, but it came out blotchy with some parts looking over bleached and some still slightly yellow. In the end I settled for a paint job.

Fair enough. It looks good now.

That's one fine lookin snes. Problem is you kinda still need to do multiple soaks to remove the bromine from the plastic. It doesn't just make it ugly but also makes the plastic brittle over time. It's too late now, but for future reference you should get the bromine out first.

Black goes with anything.
