I was just going to ask this same question.

We have a '67 22' safari and have just today we removed all the plastic and fiberglass parts from the bath and I scrubbed them throughly.

I wanted to paint them with epoxy paint [boat deck]and I think that will work on the fiberglass shower but I'm not sure about that plastic stuff. It must be pretty good plastic to hold up this long but I really want to paint all this stuff. ...the color is awful. What kind of paint is best?

I planned to sand it well, patch the broken places with epoxy and vinyl backing. I have experience fixing dings in the sailboat we had for 17 years so I'm familiar with that.

Just for discoloration problems tho...I was able to get some spots out with grout cleaner ...but that's really strong stuff with hcl acid and you have to neutralize it real fast or it will soften the plastic. It sure got some spots clean!!! If I weren't going to paint it I would touch it up with that more.
