"They" said the walls would never yellow, but they did! Now we're stuck with them. Literally, they are glued to the walls! I was wondering if I could use rustoleum spray paint for plastic to whiten them again. I know about the tub and tile epoxy, we refinished our tub with that. Huge tub and oooollllld, don't ask, but I was hoping there was a quicker, easier, fix that would last. Haha, I don't want a lot, do I! Thanks for your knowledge.

Just know the paint is not a permanent fix, will eventually peel and you'll have a bigger mess than yellowed walls.
Latagn, the discoloration can come from your cleaners you use. Just check the manufactures directions before you paint. It might be able to be cleaned once again.
Talk to folks who know about painting boat hulls. There is a paint for everything, but you have to put the right ones together. If this surround absolutely must stay then don't be stingy with time, money, or the stink of it. BUT also look into the option of pulling it out, replacing the wall board, and putting something you love on the walls. It could be a more efficient way of getting what you want.
