Painting wallplates?
 

We have about 15 tan wallplates that we would like to be white, what's
the best way to paint them that won't chip off after a while and look
horrible?

Hi,
Paint? Why bother?, new plate with color of your choice; Ivory, Off
white, etc. will cost a few cents each.

what color is the switch part, or receptable part? if they are
different it will look strange.

They are coaxial / phone line combo plates, I bought them off the
internet and I don't want to spend double for shipping them back or
buying more.

I forget what company but there is a spray paint made for plastic. It also
works really good. Go to your local harware store and ask them.

Use spray paint. What kind I don't know. Do it outdoors, far
enough from everything that the paint won't drift over to a car or
house etc. Even then do it on a calm day, over wide newspapers.

Remove NOPSAM to email me. Please let
me know if you have posted also.

Why not just buy white wall plates? They cost all of maybe fifty cents each.

Buy more, sell the ones you have on eBay.
