Replacement cover for outside range vent???

There was a recent post about a replacement for the crappy scare lights. Does anyone know of a good replacement for the outside range vent cover? I really hate the way they look yellow and old on the otherwise great looking exterior of the rig.

Give it a good cleaning and paint it with some Krylon paint, then it'll never yellow again

Spray it down with full strenght awesome let set for 2or3 mins and wash off you may not need to paint. thats what I do and it comes back white.

It yellows due to UV rays and the type of plastic it is made from. They can be replaced without much effort, but unless it is not functioning properly, one of the options above will work.

Thanks for the replies. I did try cleaning it but it never got as white as the sidewalls. I think I'm going to try Charlies suggestion to paint with Krylon.

I painted ours along with the yellowing outlet cover & vent for the dryer. I had some automotive platic primer I used first & then painted them white with Wally World spray paint.
They look like new..........

Spray all the white plastic with awesome let it sit for 2-3 minutes rinse it off and they come back to white also the strip between the Fiberglass and the metal. Make sure you rinse it well.

Great ideas! When you painted, did you remove the vent or just mask it off?
