I need to change the all the beige cover plates to a dark green in my
theater room. Probably I won't paint the actual toggle or round
outlet, but just the cover plate. Will Rustoleum or Krylon paint for
plastics work well? What are my other choices?


Never tried it, but I have been told that you can throw them into a
kitchen pot and use food dye. Certainly worth a try.

Easter egg dye comes to mind. I wonder what some of those swill things
and other Easter egg decoration things would do? It could make for some
interesting light switches :-)
