Painting plastic white moulded accessories?

whjohnson
Applying paint to white moulded accessories? Sockets, switches and the like.

Been asked by an interior designer (cushion-thrower) if it would be safe to paint electrical accessories a different colour.

I said I didn't know and would guess that it depended upon the type of paint.

Oil-based enamel? Lacquer solvent-based? Water-based acrylics?

I mentioned that any solvent-based paints may damage the plastic and even undermine any flame-retardant ingredients within.


Comments welcome.

    A mate of mine has pink sockets and switches in his kitchen fitted on the direction of his wife to match the colour of the big American fridge.


    you can get accessories in a wide range of colours but probably not Farrow and Ball to satisfy your interior designer.
