I hate to be the bearer of bad news but none of that plastic you bought is any good. The fading on the plastic goes well beyond just the color. The top layer will literally turn to powder when you try to clean it. I know this from experience. Try scratching it with your finger nail and you will see how easily the plastic falls apart. I needed to replace every panel in my interior due to fading.

Seen this before too. Very common on 70s-80s GM cars. Nothing you can do other than replace the panels.
