Plastic paint

Apologies if this has been discussed recently.
I have a plastic bath panel that has turned from white to grey and was wondering if anyone has successfully painted theirs?

It’s a D-shaped panel and handymen I’ve had round to replace it have sucked their teeth, claimed such panels can’t be found, claimed the panel would need to be cut down, said the arc of the D ‘is funny’.
One tried to sell me a new, rectangular, bath!
As far as I know it’s a regular D-shaped bath, but replacing & sealing the panel is a bit beyond us.
Thanks

This is an old thread and I'd forgotten I'm on it!

You can still buy these panels.
Have a look on Screwfix, b & q, plumb nation for D, or P shapes.
I am looking for a straight panel for my mum, oh but the price😳
If you paint it, could end up looking naff.

Gosh I’ve only just realised that 🤦‍♀️
Hope they managed to sort it 😂

Use a stick on wipeable self-adhesive like the coloured vinyl window films. Also google fablon. I would not be painting the bath side
