What paint to use on power outlets

Marco - LMAO!

Do NOT use latex! Besides the fact that it shows dirt and scuff marks from plug prongs, it easily flakes off of plastic and can get into the oulet contacts.

Use a plastic or epoxy spray paint that will bond with the plastic outlet body. Most colors are available at HD, but if you want a special color or matt color, go to a hobby shop and buy the stuff made for plastic models.

I would use Krylon Fusion or Rustoleum for plastic. they both should bond to the recepticles.

I guess your wife objects to the color of that little area that would otherwise be covered with a plug. If thats the case perhaps you can fill it with those little plastic childproof caps. That is if you can still find them. They were reputed to be of very little deterent to prying fingers and a choking hazard as well. Needless to say my recommendation is DON'T USE CHILDPROOF OUTLET CAPS WHEN CHILDREN ARE AT LARGE. The same warning may hold true for pets.

Jax,

In my experience the MD Audio Paint causes smearing. I've found the UltraSilvaPlatClearKote with organic dye colorant and baking-soda opaquing agent (available via special order only) is completely transparent and adds bass. The SlivaPlat coating is very pricey, but it's well worth it.
