Hello

My bathroom is tiled up to the ceiling on the walls where the shower is positioned, but on the other 2 walls it is tiled halfway up the wall and finished off with a decorative tile trim. This trim is about an inch high, is made of plastic or something similar and has a sort of rope effect pattern to it (it's not the regular trim, more like a little dado rail for the bathroom) :)

The tiles themselves are white, but unfortunately this trim is now starting to discolour and turn a yellowy/creamy colour, which just looks horrible in an otherwise white bathroom.

Is there some specialist primer and paint that I could use to whiten it up? It doesn't come into contact with any water (other than condensation). I'm not sure what the material is (I've tried to Google the product to see if I can get details but I can't find it anywhere, frustratingly) but it seems plastic, or very similar to it. I remember I bought it in really long strips.

I've tried to clean it, but it's not dirty as such, just yellowing.

Thank you.
