Painting plastic white moulded accessories?

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.

The big complaint I hear regularly is that 45-amp fittings have red or orange rocker switches no matter how upmarket they are, such as these Matt Black powder coated steel plate fittings with black inserts.

Expensive CNC routed bits of deal stained to look like mahogany (you're joking!) with really rather nasty inserts. ?
