Definately sanding.

Peroxide only has worked on white, pink , and  ivory for me. I did a moss green with bad results. I sanded an Aqua that looked green and I am happy with the results. Sanding is a pain, though!

Exactly.

Sounds like you're question has been answered Harry. Time to try retrobright, especially since it's a white housing. Not that I've tried it though....
