the layer of varnish or clear paint also oxidizes with the air, such paint tend to yellow as well as plastics
once you paint the plastics : there is no way back as demolition said
removing that thin layer of paint may become impossible
painting the plastic is a big mistake
the yellowing process in these plastics is a mix of heat+uv light+oxygen and other chemicals in the earth atmosphere,
those old white plastics are pure crap and very very unstable, there is no cure for them
meanwhile you can purchase a 35 years old Spectrum 48k or Spectrum 128k , you clean them using water and a clean cloth and they look as if they were new
