ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Can you paint the front of a receptacle?

My own opinion is that this is a non issue.

I find nothing in the UL white book that says we can not paint a receptacle. I have not seen that info in the limited instructions that come with a receptacle.

I also think that this is entirely unenforceable which just makes it a joke.

IMHO there are more important things to worry about.
