I've had a go at restoring Atari XL cases, restoring the Beige with Hydrogen Peroxide, not really 'bleaching', more of counter-acting the effects of light and Oxygen on the plastic.
In the case of dark plastics your only option would be paint I think.  Good results can be had with the newer paints for plastics.

I'd imagine it's like dying dark hair, you have to bleach it before you put any color in.

I dunno nothing about trying to remove color from plastic though.

I've been wondering lately, would it be possible to dye dark plastic lighter without covering text? I'm aware that it is possible to dye the light grey plastics found on a gameboy using rit dye or x-metals. Could this or a similar principle be used to make a sega genesis (or any other dark plastic, for that matter) be a lighter color?
