Hi - i am sure its been asked here before, but couldnt find the post.

White buttons (player 1 / 2) are now yellowed. What is the best way to restore to white? I dont want to place an order just for 4 white buttons right now, and would like these looking brand new, if possible. Can i just soak them in clorox bleach or something?
 
If they are just yellowed and not burned, melted ect. you could take them apart, clean them and paint them white with a paint meant for plastic like krylon fusion.
 
Bleach won't reverse it, it's a change in the plastic over time that yellows it.

There's a solution that works for some plastics, and you should check this out to see if it works:

I'd just buy the buttons from Bob R next time you need some stuff. Nothing looks as good as new white buttons.
 
Yeah - looks like nothing in the immediate (today!) term will solve it. Guess i am ditching these guys and placing an order for some white buttons.
