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.

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.
