Painting the covers of electrical outlets around your house is a feasible solution to spruce up your walls, but electricians and other experts don't recommend it.
That's because if the paint accidentally finds its way into your outlets' receptacles, it can result in damage to the electrical wiring and to the residents of your home.
The majority of paints are electrically conductive, so if they get into the outlets, they can cause the wires to short-circuit and potentially start an electrical fire.
