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? |

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. -- --------------------------------------- Brian Dye http://tech-home.com --------------------------------------- "Schism" wrote in message ups.com... what color is the switch part, or receptable part? if they are different it will look strange.

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. krylon for plastic at walmart |

They cost all of maybe fifty cents each. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Buy more, sell the ones you have on eBay. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |
