What paint to use on power outlets


I own some very nice Hubbell outlets. My wife does not like the color. I hate to spend $40 a piece to get new ones. Is there a paint product that someone can recommend?
I understand that I will be turning the circuit off and also filling the outlet holes before painting.

Use only cryo-treated Machina Dynamica Audio Paint with tiny ground up magic pebbles that invisibly work to stabilize, soften and take years off your aged home wiring. Accept no substitutes or you will regret it to your grave.

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.

If that is a concern, instead of using the caps, try Kidco Slide Outlet Covers. They use a slide mechanism - partially put the plug in and slide it to one side and push it in to the outlet. When you pull the plug out it springs back into the cover position. Apparently it works very well. I just did some work in a house with them in place and they would deifinitely confound most kids I've met, and probably most cats and many dogs even. No chocking worries, no worries of prying them out. Unfortunately the color thing still come into play, but there's sill the clever little MD spray paint.

Hey Kevine! Who wears the pants in your family?

More to the point; what COLOR are the pants in your family?! Are they Audiophile approved pants?
