Yellowed PVC/plastic loft hatch

patchwork_cat

Our 7 year old loft hatch is 'plastic' it is very badly yellowed. Do we just gloss it or is there a way to clean it up or do we need special paint? TY.

Has the plastic itself yellowed or is it a film of dirt etc. If its the latter, use brasso - this shifts everything! Other wise, use an oil based undercoat and ordinary gloss.

it doesn't need undercoat , water based so it dries really quickly and doesn't smell

wash it off with sugar soap, sand it down a bit and then paint in the normal way.
